How a light bulb works

[denispkpk]

Is that Vicky from Fifth Gear talking there?

[rushdina20]

...and it is hardly changed its wa......What is the last word?????

Pls reply back!!!!!!Thanks.

[nothingelse83]

hmmm.. okay!

[4u250ut]

Boom!!! :) 

[CATRYNA49]

This is so easy, so brilliant. I say if it's not broke, why fix it. Who needs florescent bulbs with mercury in them and circuit boards in their base. How useless and moronic is that?

[saj12100]

@CATRYNA49 it is very useless and moronic.

[sandheepkumarvb]

Wow!!

[ESMKeyInsight]

I made a huge medical/life discovery using deep astrology, what you find in newspapers is so misleading! Google Birth Chart Wheel to get you on the right path to Astrology :) check out my video on my discovery!

[VivienForum]

this video reminds me of the write brothers for some reason...

[SSHPCS2]

[QQuaeE]

WHAT ?? is this Vikky´s voice from 5th gear ??

[TheSushiGirl01]

woooow realy interesting!! not

[MrFelt1000]

So boring!  :(

LIGHTBULB

[Upscalemadness]

the an-602 hydrogen bomb generated 5.3 trillion trillion watts for a fraction of a second

[BrendanTaylorrulz]

i see a bug :)

[1800levso]

according to fckn science, light is wave, we actually don't see light, we interpret it as light, so my guess is that our eyes has millions of push on and off repectors where a light wave pushes them and our brain interpret them as vision, some kind the same way we hear, don't know for sure but that's what I heard on wikisucks.

[bramverbeek2]

Smile! DIt staat op GeenStijl!

[faisal1979m]

Thumbs up if you see the bug at 0:15

[easylightbulbs]

cool stuff but we do it better

[technoshitor]

So does a lightbulb need the glass?

[DavidMeans303]

@technoshitor yes because it needs to create a vaccum for the gas. if the glass bulb is broken - or if its cracked... air containing oxygen can get in and so when you switch on the bulb the hot filament burns away rapidly blowing the bulb.

[thlampcompanybaldoc]

great stuff but we do it better give us a call

[kai489]

thomas edison was a faggot 

[jimday666]

is that Vicki Butler-Henderson's voice? how lovely.

[proctor4883jay]

light the bulb up with the light in it

[model876]

i wanted to c if u could c the AC in the bulb.. and u can :D cool

[nornironbloke]

0.16 bugs lightyear complete with glass dome!!!

[fglover1000]

pause at 0:15 you will see a tiny bug crawl across the screen in the bottom right hand corner. XD

[philsnk]

What keeps the filament from eating all the air in the bulb?

[damnyancey]

@philsnk there aint no air in the bulb. its under a vacume. thats why they pop when they break. air would cause th filament to burn out.

[captain150]

@damnyancey That's wrong too. Light bulbs contain an inert gas, usually argon. This is to slow down the evaporation of tungsten. Look it up.

[3si2]

thumps up if you saw that bug on 0.17 :D

[Pruthvignan]

wats this faffaaaaaa



[haroldofcardboard]

i am a really big fan of lightbulbs and i think this is one of the best videos about them i have ever seen

[TheAds369]

for my homework i have to describe how a lightbulb works. Can anybody tell me?

[Computist40]

now how does it explode, when it gets to hot?

[sarokas12]

I love you Vicky!!

[nehalvpatel]

Put a bug in when the electrons are in motion and it dies.. :D

[XeanoProductions]

Incredible!

[siggy16]

and now they are being banned for something that is inferior then this oh and it has has mercury in it, yea who doesn't like cancer ? -_-

[damnyancey]

@siggy16 if ya break one of the new bulbs, ya have to call hazmat to clean it up.

[captain150]

@damnyancey That's a lie. Look it up on snopes.

[JTshoot]

@siggy16 No it doesn't !

[WICKEDMAN9MM]

Yeah good invention but I prefer the flourescent lightbulbs it saves me a bundle on my energy bill...

[goatphilososphy]

the sensible on and the vivvasious one.

[nevonja]

99% of the energy in the light bulb is head the rest of 1% is light

cool

[hebrahim12345]

hahaha

[LAMPA66RU]

Super video! In best tradition NG.

Very interesting for me, because it is my work (lampa66 ru)

[SwankyPete]

her voice is SO FUCKING annoying. I dont Know how brits fuckign bear this sort of accent what DOUCHES/////!!!

[hhokyo]

@SwankyPete its actually americans who have an "accent". Its english, not something americans made up. (this is coming from an american. im not british.)

[LotusDragon09]

@hhokyo An accent is simply how you pronounce words, so everyone has an accent in that regard. I agree with you though. English came from Britain, so if one had to have an accent and the other didnt, I would say its America. British English seems to pronounce a lot of words as how they are spelled too, which makes sense to me. No need to over complicate an already complicated language.

[larrylob1234]

@SwankyPete Yeah i think she was on Fifth Gear to haha

[TubyJan]

95% heat, 5% light

[slorterking1]

lol lightbulb aint modern you idiot

[audreyx12]

hello this tell you where it was mad and how it wroks but pour Thomas Edison dosent get en cretedt for this vidoe hello he invented it

[uyenst]

@audreyx12 :no he didn't. Everybody thinks so, but he did NOT invent the light bulb. Joseph Swan did. Edison developed and improved it a lot, but it wasn't his original invention. This issue was brought to Court and The British Courts stood by their patent award for the light bulb to Swan, and Edison lost the suit.

[jimmyreed112]

@audreyx12 actually he didnt..it was joseph swan

[dan020350]

2002 Celsius !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can imagine what Nikola Tesla was talking about creating a tower that uses the earth core .

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

Everybody go to 0:14

There is a small bug crawling on the bottom of the bulb!!! lol

Awesome video.

[n2thee]

You got way to much free time. I'll give you a thumbs up, lol!

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

Thanks but I always notice things like that. lol

[southernclassik]

@WindowsAndMacintosh lol i saw it, good eye.

[vigilantmark]

@WindowsAndMacintosh Of all things you see that lol

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

@vigilantmark

Yes... lol

[KRAZY7777]

@WindowsAndMacintosh that bugs famous now

[tashalynn29]

@WindowsAndMacintosh big deal

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

@tashalynn29

You had to ruin the fun of everybody else here... It would have been easier for you just to ignore my comment, which is rated up by over 30 people than to make this comment. Sorry. Have a nice day, bye.

[tashalynn29]

@WindowsAndMacintosh oh quit being a pussy. I did not ruin anyone's fun but yours. We came to watch a light bulb work, not look at nitpicky little details like you do. Sorry. Go stick your head in an oven and have a nice day, bye.

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

@tashalynn29

Well, my policy is "Ignore suggestions for anything by people with less than 300 subscribers."

Since your channel sucks so bad and you fail so hard at YouTube, I do not care what you say. You, are a miserable failure at life. In fact, I may add an "EVERYBODY BLOCK TASHALYNN29" to the end of my next video. Also, I was nice and I never said anything bad. You start cussing, you then tell me to stick my head in an oven, and you couldn't think of your own last word, so you copied mine

[firecracker999999]

@WindowsAndMacintosh Lesson 4 of the intranets:

Trolls are vile creatures on the intranets. They solely feed on angry reactions for a feeling of power. Like weeds, they grow in the cracks of silly comments and odd things that are seen in the video. Thankfully trolls are easy to get rid of, simply do not respond to his/her disrespectful comments and they will dissipate. You can easily spot them simply due to the fact of that the moment you read the comment you instantly call them a rude word.

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

@firecracker999999

I know but thanks. And yes, he's a troll.

[firecracker999999]

@WindowsAndMacintosh irony lolz

[tashalynn29]

@tashalynn29 hey dickface, I don't get on youtube to socialize and have subscribers, I get on here to look at videos. I don't give a fuck about channels, either, so you don't hurt me there, You started it, not me, and if you don't have a life except to comment on peoples comments and get all offended, then you have a pathetic life and should do us all a favor and die

[AngryPunish3r]

@WindowsAndMacintosh hahahahhha

[AngryPunish3r]

@WindowsAndMacintosh hahhahaha!

[AngryPunish3r]

@WindowsAndMacintosh hhahaha!

[tellmyfather]

what ever!

[condomvomit]

i have a video similar to this one, but slightly less educational

[condomvomit]

yeah slightly less educational

[bestamerica]

how much air inside the bulb

[tellmyfather]

so thats a filament!! and it exploded? WTF how does it explode if its from the 21st century? in the 1970s wen edison was making it than ya but now?!??!

[NZKartsport]

Just because its modern, doesn't mean its indestructible...

[RUL1S88]

I still don't get it, so how the light bulb works? How does the human eyes catch the light beams? How the fuck is it made? Why it didn't said about the vakuum which is inside the light bulb? I haven't learned anything new about them, +1 for wasting my time!

[hiewy]

@RUL1S88 no one really knows why it works it just does . It mainly has to do with Atoms of particular metals and how they can transfer electrons from one small atom to another they use metals like copper wire to transfer these electrons of positively charged energy ( a bit like static energy )The reason the bulb does not burn from the heat because their is no oxygen in it .Thats why it has the glass around it when they made it the oxygen is sucked out of the glass encasing

[lacotedazur1]

Electric Light Bulb Canadian Henry Woodward invented an electric light bulb in 1874 and sold the patent to Thomas Edison

[bestamerica]

edison was a full american and invented the light bulb

[riChiePsywaLker]

Estas si son buenas "camaras lentas" no como las pendejadas que pasan en "En camara lenta" de discovery channel!

[usarelnombre]

So the high vivration of these particles produces light?

How exactly does that work?

[NZKartsport]

The light comes from the heating of the tungsten.

[Orion602]

cool stuff. too bad that morons are going to ban it. but im making large stocks of incandescent lightbulbs..:o)

[flyboy12121]

Ginkys

[ZBULBS]

Great informative video!

Zoinks!

[HokageNarutoman]

i read in a book once that tomas edison didnt invent this

[bethunecommie]

yup canadians did, and then sold it to edison

[pynator]

0:38

They literally.. slowed down the speed of light so human eyes could keep up D:

[msaber1797]

its the speed of electricity not light

[AgentMull]

Which is the speed of light, take 5%.

[n2thee]

Lol Pynator! :p

Slowed down the speed of the frequency, which is 50 Hz in Europe (60 Hz in USA).

The light bulb blinks 50 times a second (60 in USA) and since our eye can only detect up to 25 "pictures" a second so it looks like it doesn't blink but is on all the time.

[loonwerker]

the stuf its made from is wolfram and has a melting point of 3900 °C

thats pretty high yeah

[meostarfox]

FUN FACT: did you know that the first light bulbs invented are still shining today!!

[MushookieMan]

FUN FACT: no they aren't!

[meostarfox]

ya, they are!

[MushookieMan]

no.

[THEBIOWOLF]

yea they realy are they were made of iron which keeps they from being bright but makes them last a long time

[MushookieMan]

wow you are... i can't say

iron filaments? NEVER! there were never iron fillaments.

[helicoptered]

Edison bulbs?

[DarkSinxxx]

Actually, there's a lightbulb from 1901 which still burns brightly today. It's in some firehouse.

[martattacks]

I guess THEBIOWOLF was thinking of carbon filaments. Indeed, they were. Just like the Centennial Light in Livermore, California. The carbon filaments were made of charred (carbonized) bamboo fibres.

[URZeroGravity]

wow, this is the longest reply chain i ever saw!

yeah, i agree, but there are some improvements to the old light bulb.

[FOOLyouDONTknowME]

there made of tungsten u idiots

[joshlcraven]

tungsten and wolfram are the same thing.

[kelsenq]

:54 doesnt there look like a bull [2]

=0 a skull?

[mikemanblah]

:54 doesnt there look like a bull

[mightycowhero]

thank you thomas edison.

[BuzzAnimations123]

Yay! I love light bulbs. They are so cool! I ADORE THEM ^^

[bucko1s]

now it makes sence why it needs to be in a vacuum

[leofera11]

I didnt know that

[AdminOnDuty]

The really cool thing about these 'simple' devices is that they are Electro Magnetic converters. 60Hz in and a wide range of frequencies out. Not only visible light, but IR and sometimes UV as well. They are true multifrequency oscillators way above radio frequency. :)

[RuneScapeSalva]

u make me feel dumb >.>

[AdminOnDuty]

@ RuneScapeSalva,

My sincere apologies as this certainly was not my intent. I just like sharing things I have learned over the years. I learn new things everyday and try to encourage others to do the same. It is especially cool when we can see things from other viewpoints and it unlocks our thought process to new possibilities. Soon science will discover that energy and matter can easily be converted from one to the other. If a pitcher pitched a ball of light could a batter hit it? Timing... :D

[TheMrarchangelo]

@AdminOnDuty .....?



[yanabenz13]

@AdminOnDuty uuuuuh...........

[pinkviolin101]

woah, thats so cool!

[Krakkhaus]

That was pretty cool :)

[P32H]

GREATEST VIDEO EVER MADE

[marcelobkn1993]

i figured out that

[gdot5]

You can learn more about how they work seeing how they make light bulbs on how it's made. It's funny, some pollack runs into a furnace.

[tidydog]

good

[sho887]

did not know that.

[shredded]

way cool
