HIGH SPEED SULPHUR PLASMA IGNITION FILM - THE SUN ON EARTH!

[jibblesmgee]

I think the correct reason there are no X rays is because microwaves and most light (Not UV though) are non ionizing radiations. I'm sure this must produce alot of UV light though (you could UV protect the glass, but then it would get hot)

Also, how does your lamp work when you don't have a magnetron or klystron pumping microwaves into it?

It would be a little inconvenient and expensive to need one of those running all the time, wouldn't it?

[tall32guy]

Why does it have to spin? What purpose does that serve?

[muhatashim]

And how bright was that??

[filobusta]

Have you guys developed a solid state system?

@tracemaster100 We claim a higher PUR (Photo synthetically Useful Radiation) value because we believe the plasma lamps that we manufacture are the only lamps that are truly a full and continuous spectrum and thus, completely unlike LED's, deliver all of the light that is useful for photosynthesis.

[tracemaster100]

@plasmainternational ive got 2 questions for ya 1 would it be to hot to use in a projector and 2 are leds really a blue light with just a yellow filter?

[liverwort4600]

Some of these bulbs use Polarized Microwaves to cause the plasma inside to spin. (eliminating the need for moving parts to rotate the bulb itself) The life of the bulb, outlives the life of the magnetron supplying microwaves. (when they solve that, you will see these everywhere, well most large area lighting situations)

[bunnyman1994]

lol ok well the title never says it blows up... ignition just means to basically turn on... (just incase you didnt know) never said it was going to explode in your face...

[jmartis2]

The bulb rotates?

[holycrapapie]

yep.

Possibly to even out the radiation, or some other crap...

[mainmenu895]

Since when does "plasma" emit radiation? Plasma is just a state of matter, like solid, liquid etc... I'm not sure if that's the terms that are used in english because that's not where i am from.

[holycrapapie]

the plasma doesent radiate, its getting baked in microwaves

[mainmenu895]

What does that have to do with evening radiation?

[holycrapapie]

READ THE GOD DAMN DESCIPTION!

jesus fucking fuck

[killer1479]

jesus fucking fuck....... lol, thats a good one

[helloman1976]

Light is a form of radiation.

[ActiveStorage]

@mainmenu895 visible light is electromagnetic radiation. So anything that emits light emits electromagnetic radiation. I guess u mixed up the idea of nuclear "radioactive" radiation that comes from heavy isotopes of uranium or plutonium etc. these are a bit different concepts.

[t4yga]

@mainmenu895 If the plasma isn't emitting radiation, what are your eyes perceiving exactly?

[plasmainternational]

yes the bulb rotates

[yeahmitch]

@plasmainternational why does the bulb rotate? care to elaborate?

[1pomp]

If you want tp purchase sulphur lamp check out growbox onlineshop in Switzerland

[Xxero0]

looks more like a high tech top

[lioninetyrant]

From what I was reading it's only about 23% heat per watt, comapred to a far higher number for HPS, as for the danger from the microwaves.... well a convential home microwave is what 1000 watts? From what I've seen this and LED are the future of Horticultural lighting, considering at what did he quote 0.57 mil lumens compared with HPS using in this example of the ED-25 from lightbulbsdirect com is... 130000... hmmm half a million or 130K, I dunno which sounds better to you?

[plasmainternational]

LED's are NOT the future of Horticultural lighting

[lumpybruisychickeny1]

well said there man (clap clap)

[Swansen03]

@plasmainternational what are your reasons to the contrary?

[tracemaster100]

@lioninetyrant i agree with you on that one. you can drop an led from a 4 story building and still work it for months.

[LBDubai]

I have looked around for a commerically availably lamp but have yet to find one I could actually buy. Anyone know where I might get one from? I enquired at Philips and they thought I made a mistake and meant sodium-lamp, instead of sulphur-lamp!

[Rippey574]

If I wanted to make one.. Do i just melt sulfur into a glass bulb and seal it then nuke it? Can it be stimulated with high voltage? I see good uses for lighting for my camera and for my salt water tank. What is the Lux output of the light?

[LBDubai]

Lux is the measurement of illumination, which depends on distance. You want to know lumens.

[plasmainternational]

0.57 Million Lumen

[Rich606]

I have no idea what was going on there. But good work, keep it up.

[plasmainternational]

Thanks for your comment, your looking at High speed Sulphur Plasma Ignition Film.

The Sulphur Lamp (also Sulfur Lamp) is a highly efficient full-spectrum electrodeless lighting system whose light is generated by sulphur plasma that has been excited by microwave radiation. Filmed using an OLYMPUS I-SPEED 3 CAMERA.

[Incredibleman007]

What metal is used for the cage net thing.

What reflects microwaves.

[playingxboxtoday]

Any kind of metal that can deflect radio waves as long as the mesh has smaller holes than the size of the microwaves.

[acoustics101]

This is the most detailed view I have yet seen of a sulfur lamp starting up. You can even see the solid sulfur vaporizing inside the rotating lamp, revealing a miniture sun inside! Since it is such a high efficiency full spectrum light source, I wonder why these didn't catch on following their invention in the early 1990s.

[RyuDarragh]

Not that new an idea. I did some experiments in the early 90's using exactly this technology. Not at those power levels, but for home use. I concluded that the high frequency RF drive was a decade or more away from reality. I was using the same parts used in CFL lamps, but at MHz and higher with a similar Faraday shield. The need for higher frequency drive made me give up Sulphur and Mercury was problematical. Congrats on making it work :)

[nasti1077]

Yes but it puts out enough radiation that your not suppose to be in the same room as the light while it is on.

[TerraGrow]

no it doesnt, it safer than a domestic microwave oven.

[JackassPal]

HI! where I can buy a sulphur plasma lamp?? This is the best for indoor grow, isn't?

[d4rkscourge]

@JackassPal why dont you try to build your own nuclear reactor in your backyard.. lol

[Dejablue630]

Guessing that's dangerous to the touch. Like, cancer radiation?

[plasmainternational]

The Sulphur Lamp (also Sulfur Lamp) is a highly efficient full-spectrum electrodeless lighting system whose light is generated by sulphur plasma that has been excited by microwave radiation.

[t4yga]

Nice technology. The proper IUPAC name for the element is Sulfur. The spelling sulphur is the result of the 19th century mistake of giving a Latin word a Greek spelling.

[cornershot94]

@t4yga i'm pretty sure that that's not true. sulpher is the way the word is spelled everywhere outside of the united states.

[t4yga]

@cornershot94 . It's not spelled sulpher anywhere. Sulfur is the correct spelling according to IUPAC who decide these things. Look it up.

[cornershot94]

@t4yga i did look it up but i couldn't find it, so i went with what wikipedia said because i'm a lazy ass

[ddrew1987]

@t4yga u thick american twat IUPAC do not decide on how to spell a word you dumbasss

#

[t4yga]

@ddrew1987 I'm british, Einstein. Look at webelements, for example. Within the scentific literature, chemists conform to IUPAC. People like you spell how they like (cf dumbasss with the triple s)
