Hello! I am a student at Lehigh University studying mechanical engineering and minoring in business. As part of my technical entrepreneurship capstone project, six of my colleagues and I are working with a global power tool manufacturer to add light to their pneumatic impact wrenches. If the light is added, end users will no longer have to worry about carrying flashlights or setting up drop lights. Our concept selection came down to an internal brushless DC motor and an external brushless DC motor, both of which would convert compressed air into electricity. The internal brushless DC motor would only be applicable for new impact wrenches manufactured by the company with whom we are working. For that reason, the external attachment was selected. This pneumatically powered light attachment will compatible with most new or existing pneumatic tools, manufactured by any company. The sturdy and lightweight device will be screwed into the bottom of a pneumatic tool and will have a quick connect that will secure the attachment into the source air hose. Using the same compressed air as the air to power the tool, the device will harness energy and light up the work area with a light delivery mechanism. The light will be operable before, during, and after tool operation. It will be purchased as an accessory.
