Old flash unit on a new camera

The old gray flash unit is a National PB-3S from the 60's or 70's, and the bulb is a #5B, the reason i made this adapter is partially it's fun to photograph using old disposable bulbs, but they also give better color and a huge lot more light, the pictured bulb outputs over 10 times more light than the electronic flash unit that came with the camera. The camera is a Nikon 1 V1 and it has a proprietary smaller hotshoe that won't fit any normal flash, it has no PC sync connector and you can't buy an adapter for normal flash units, at least not at the moment. The opto coupler triac is VO2223A, cut in half along the center using a thin dremel cutting disc. The two power pins on the triac are connected to the two contacts on the hot shoe adapter. The opto triac needs a lot of light to trigger but it's very fast, and an electronic flash unit outputs a lot of light in a very short pulse. Please note that this will only work in manual flash mode where the flash emits a single pulse. It will not work in TTL metering mode, and most compact cameras don't have a manual flash mode. This could of course be remedied using a micro controller but then it wouldn't be a simple 5 minute $1 build anymore. The white plastic is Polymorph, a plastic that melts at around 60 degrees Celsius and can be hand kneeded to shape, and when set is as strong as solid nylon, search for it on youtube or ebay to learn more. And before you post that this can be done with a cheap slave flash, no it can't, most of those will only fire xenon tube flash units, not these old bulb units.
