Anyone know it you can make tailblades I have seen some but don't know how they made them

I've been wanting to do some DIY night tail blades myself. Very few threads on the subject. I did find a few pics on some "other" forum sites that might give a few ideas.

The first set looks like something I might try. Now where to get a 20ma lipo?

I've seen this type of LED blinker in person. They are not very bright and would be more suited to the Glow Wire type of night setup:

Can´t we do something with magnetic induction? We only need an inductor coil on the blade and mount a magnet close to it.

Edit, never mind. If the blade pitches away the air gap will become to large to be efficient.
