How it's made - Incandescent Light Bulb

[eliasonjared]

humans are beautiful

[Thesken513]

leave a light bulb on for 3 hours,grab it and see how long you can hold on for

[TheMoneyisbetter]

Wow, this one is old

[pethead87]

aaaaHHH !!! He has a SEXY voice <3

[0flyfire]

WOOWWW :D

[itubeudont]

@200690101 I hate u and the guy that made fun of brits im american though so I hate u more

[Konkaver]

I've always wondered this... Where do people buy these big automated production lines like this one? Are there companies that make them or contractors? How does one go about finding/buying/making one of these?

[levitabusman]

@Konkaver Its the illuminati

[grimslider75]

@levitabusman

I saw your comment and thought it was mine, since we have the same profile pic. Good taste of music =).

[levitabusman]

@grimslider75 Sick album bro!

[BigKwell]

Next year, the U.S. is going to phase-out the incandescent bulb in favor of more energy efficient CFLs and LED bulbs.

[douro20]

The truth: It takes more energy to make a fluorescent lamp than it does to make an incandescent one.

[pbien16]

whats an alaminyum???



[yerk3]

alaminyum...

[dimos47ki7]

and yet they missed the most interesting part imo...how the hell do they make the tungsten wire???

[SuperHenkieboy]

verlepte homo's

[midnightcharger2]

Cheers for the explaination.  I was always under the impression that all lengths of the filiament were the same to cut down the amount of production lines necessary for different wattage bulbs. Always re-learning something everyday.

[midnightcharger2]

question: is the wattage determined by the thickness of the wire? My brother thinks that the wire needs to be thicker, me the opposite for a brighter bulb. More resistance = higher wattage? Whats everyones take?

[randacnam7321]

@midnightcharger2 Filament thickness determines the lamp operating current at the desired filament operating temperature (lower filament temperature increases lamp life, higher filament temperature increases efficiency and color temperature). The electrical potential (incorrectly called voltage) of the lamp is determined by the filament length.  The lamp power is the product of the current and electrical potential.

[MrPapawill]

Anyone know how UFO made?

[yerk3]

@MrPapawill They're made of alaminyum.

[airstar19]

THE MACHINES GO SOOO FAST!!

[xDeathmetalMan96x]

those light bulbs looks like bongs 

[wolfmang22]

cool now i know how thats made. (more useless information lol)

[glennojordan]

I know these are all screw caps ones what the ones with the bayonet caps?

[waterDrinker13]

watch?v=5sa8UBSGPJE neons are interesting too

[jubylantk]

AL-LOO-MINIUM? LEED? Fucking brits --

[200690101]

@jubylantk

ALLOOMINUM? Fucking Americunts

[sipperlapskovs]

How do you spell the name of the liquid he mentioned at about 2:00 ???

I need the name for a project at school.

[normbrojr]

@serbescuiuliana he says drop ya pants bend over and make room for my cock any questions ?

[serbescuiuliana]

@14jackthelad retard :)

[14jackthelad]

@serbescuiuliana WTF 7 mounth's ago and you have only just replyed ?? p.s what did ur comment say befor u removed it ?

[Hedgehogstudioss]

Cfl's aren't bad anymore. Bow they have bulbs that simulate daylight.

[gmodrules123456789]

CFL's Really bug me because they buzz if i hook them up in my room but anywhere else they run smooth and gray, gloomy, depressing and digital camera distorting sadness. Yes i Really hate CFL's because the light doesn't emit heat at all, also they contain mercury and there really grayish too, they also seem to sometimes but not always strobe really quickly but i have to look very close at the bulb in order to see the strobe effect.

[acerb45666555]

the big incandescent bulb factory in Virginia has shut down. sales were killed by flourescent products. i depise cold creepy flourescent lights! i want normal warm incandescent bulbs back on the market!

[naggerkiller]

@lgugue you do realize that those cfls have to be recycled at a specialty facility and not just thrown away right? Cfls are good when it comes to energy efficency but they are also harmful to our environment when not disposed of properly.

[lgugue]

I like incandescent but the spirals CFLs are better, those from Philips or Osram don't distort the colors and last too much, I'm using them since six or seven years ago and until now I had to replace only three of 12 bulbs in my house, I've put some with 23w and 42w in the kitchen and in my work room they are really good and my ceiling lamps stops to be burned by the intense heat... I recommend them! But those with generic brands definetly are craps, don't by them...

[jazzy4me4eva]

hmm i dont know whats more interesting .. the light bulbs ..or the machines that make them lol

[alderaforall]

@jazzy4me4eva write me down for the nachines. Whoever came up with the ideas for the machines is one smart cookie. The guys that got them running are pretty damn awesome too.

[TheAstro30]

@jazzy4me4eva the machines that make them, lol

[juanmora19910209]

Incandescent Light bulbs are heating elements which produce light as a byproduct. So inefficient and outdated, LEDs are the way.

[ASLforever100]

I like incandescent bulbs more than CFL. incandescent bulbs is more safe and doesn't have Mercury. Please keep business forever.

[mastergx1]

the air inside the lamp is replaced with argon in order for it to operate AS WELL AS to lengthen its lifespan like they state here. Without it, the filemant would only glow red hot (not white hot) and would burn out in seconds

[MegaElectricLight]

Osram Sylvania

[CowboyOlli]

This narrator is the best one.

The other's sound retarded.

[tpg157]

yeah simple

[sashaas998]

SIMPLE???

[MaveJDatthews]

I wondered why he pronounced it like that too.

[cheybug394]

people he's british. don't blame him; blame the brits lol

[irockXD12341]

allimineum?

[TheShawMaestro]

Retard.

[ConveX91]

"Aluminium".. Look at how its spelt, man.

Definitely ain't spelt "aluminum" >.>

[bo55ali]

shit

[cheybug394]

lol aloominyum wow i'm gonna pronounce it like that now

[Xgamer7755]

reminds me of Q.

[cheybug394]

how?

[Xgamer7755]

I'm not sure... but when I hear the beginning it sounds like Q explaining his latest Bond gadget

Q-

"The incandescent light bulb, a relatively simple device, it has two contacts, one for the positive and one for the negative. You hook it up to a battery and you can see in the dark."

Bond-

"Brilliant!"

[cheybug394]

lol funny but who's Q?

[67tr876]

@Xgamer7755 i tryed that i was told you need 120 dc to make it work on DC just like AC it uses 120.

[hpahelwan]

@Xgamer7755

[Lukerativestopaction]

what happened to Brooks Moore narrating all the episodes?

[MegaMaster456]

He's british

[MoonSung1]

he pronounces aluminium like that cause that's the british/canadian way to pronounce it.

[NeoFalcon69]

It's the same for New Zealand and Australia too.

I think the pronunciation is unique to the US.

[mmmmmmannnnnnn]

they say people like the nz accent in usa but in nz we like the us accent lol

[matlockwk]

I hate the way he says aluminum! he said it in another video also...

[decelectronicsltd]

That is the proper way to say aluminium! It's just that everyone who pronounces it aloominum can't spell it (or pronounce it)

[NorthCarolinaBoy1]

IK!!

[kkkiwi]

His jokes, along with yours, are terrible.

[Janinebignell]

Is it just me or the voice of this guy really annoying? He's too sing song >.>

[ductonius]

Both Aluminium and Aluminum are correct.

[maggotlives]

i like how the guy anunciates aluminum lol 3:44

[weinerschnitzelboy]

i like pronouncing it that way even if im not british :D

[giancarlolandrover]

incandecents im dont like! i like mercury bulbs

[Bogsnarfticator]

i like to fart

[chimmichunga12]

LOOK AT THE VIDEO RESPONCE IT's HD

[setogh12]

cool i like how they make it

[CleanGreenLight]

Let me try some numbers:

The average household has 50 light bulbs, with an average life of 10 years. Each bulb contains 20mg of mercury, so the mercury waste from one household is 1 gram every decade. With a toxic TLV of 25 microgrammes per cubic metre, that is potentially 40,000 cubic metres of toxic mercury vapour.

There are 30 million households in the UK alone, so that represents 30 metric tonnes of mercury released every decade, enough to pollute over 1000 cubic kilometres per decade.

[Proudrolnik]

Incandescent Light Bulbs don't have any mercury inside, and not every household uses fluorescent lights so your numbers are incorrect.

[chris1422]

You must live in a big house! I just counted 15 lights in mine. Not counting clocks or flashlights.

[gaussman08]

@chris1422 wow i have 15 too o_o

[NarutoMustDie12345]

no one cares

[theultimatekoopa2]

My house has a total of (including fluorescent light bulbs), about 19 or so light bulbs. 50? Where are you?

[CleanGreenLight]

Compact fluorescent light bulbs release highly toxic mercury vapour when broken. The TLV (Threshold Limit Value) is only 25 micrograms per cubic meter (OSHA).

It will cost your local authority dearly to provide for their disposal.

They are not dimmable, they are slow to warm up, have a tendency to flicker, and have a poor color.

They will not save much electricity. If you normally need to heat your home, the so-called 'waste' heat from conventional bulbs helps heat your home.

[superdau]

Actually burning coal (which is still the main source for electricity) releases mercury, too. (coal also contains many other hazardous impurities, so saving energy has even more advantages). If you compare the amount of mercury in the CFL with the amount not emitted through energy saving over the lifetime of the CFL you end up with less mercury in the environment (this would even assume you broke all CFLs). But I agree to one thing: I don't want to break it at home.

[b199er]

Incandescents are crap. All the lights in my home have been replaced with 9W/11W/15W Fluorscents. So I use a quarter of the power. The extra 45Watts gained for each light (about 300Watts), can be used to fuel my Pentium D powered computers, which incidently are quite power hungry around 100Watts each.

But White LED's/OLED's are the future!

[amorach]

I stand by my incandescent bulbs! The light they emit is higher quality, they turn on instantly, and they never flicker like CFLs sometimes do. It is impossible to absolutely completely phase out incandescent bulbs because there are lots of applications that require them.

[wangtong04]

save the planet dont use incondescent lightbulbs.

[yorricksfriend]

wow thats so cool, too bad they're banned in a couple of years

[pieandbo]

TOO BAD? They suck! Last a year and take hundreds of watts! CFL's are much, much better.

[yorricksfriend]

meh

[gewehrmeister3777]

Life and wattage depends on the lamp. Also compact fluorescents cant be used in ovens, refrigerators, tower beacon fixtures, fruit jar fixtures or frequently switched fixtures.

[pieandbo]

Led bulbs can be used in frequently used fixtures. Other than ovens, but whatever. Also, Incandescent bulbs have a max life of 3 years. I've never seen one higher than that. Also, if you use a 40 watt bulb, it will be dim, and if you use a 60 or 100 watt bulb, it will be inefficient.

[gewehrmeister3777]

The lamps in the light fixtures in my basement lasted ~20 years before fixture relamping and all of the removed lamps still work. LED bulbs are not efficient light sources for applications requiring omnidirectional light sources due to the directional emission of the semiconductor junction and require tens or hundreds of diodes to produce practical light levels. Also frequent switching kills LED lamps with switching power supplies.

[pieandbo]

ok ok you win. But I hope we can agree that Cfls are best in main fixtures because of their effiancy.

[gewehrmeister3777]

Compact fluorescents have low power factors(0.5-0.7) compared to incandescents(1.0) and are thus unsuitable for power factor critical applications. They also generate radio frequency interference and thus cannot be used in proximity to RFI sensitive electronic equipment.

[pieandbo]

YOU CONFUSE ME!

[gewehrmeister3777]

Look it up on wikipedia.

[pieandbo]

NEVAH!

[gewehrmeister3777]

Y?

Most of their technical information is accurate.

[yorricksfriend]

holy crap you ive triggered this argument, i was only saying how its a shame that they will be banned because of the cleverness of their manufacture as depicted video lol

[Thistledowne]

Three years? :) Perhaps that's a typical lifespan, but there are examples of longer lived incandescent bulbs... the most famous of which is the Centennial Bulb in a firehouse in Livermore, CA. Search Wikipedia for Century_bulb Several other bulbs with similar histories, but this one is by far the most famous.

[musones1]

nice vid i got first comment lol good quality and sound
