Egyptian Bulb

[66kerekes]

How was it powered,what kind of voltage,amperage,ballast was used to make this possible?

[Thatfatguyfrommars]

No one made an Oblivion reference yet?

[owner876]

Who the fuck cares who invented it?! Look at the shiny light!

[EmotionlessHero]

haha interesting light bulb, where would you find one like this?

[geminirat60]

we rediscovered it and made it popular and accessible to all! egyptians or whoever did nothing with it ! kept every thing secret and so the idea dies without people even knowing it was there!

[shodgate]

whats the name of the song??

[mr1880]

it looks like a dildo thats poorly made

[tonymengela]

All I want to know is how do I make one? any vids on that?

[petrus4]

If you were able to build this, Energyfield, it could be of enormous benefit to a great many people, if you were willing to release information about how you did so. With the impending outlawing of incandescents, we will need such alternatives.

[harmonicazhin]

so like, was anything actually invented and discovered by the western world? seems like ancient civilizations like Egypt and Greece pretty much invented it all! :p

[roblou62]

@harmonicazhin What the issue is that in America we have been bought up thinking that we invented everything somehow, but the fact is, we have invented very little. Our country is only 200 plus years old. Do remember there are countries thousands of years old. It is very unfair that we were lead to believe such things as children, because when you get older you see just how much of it is true. It is just like some think because a person doesn't speak English that they are stupid. ah, life

[harmonicazhin]

@roblou62 that's what I meant. I'm saying that everything already has been invented before the western world even came up and about.

[goodvocalcover]

@Energyfield what i learned was ever wonder how they coudl see in the tomb ? people thought torches but not the right amount of oxegen to full it 2nd copper mirror but sun could not power as deep ino the tomb so yes i belive they made a type of light bulb

[Dreadragon]

It's NOT a light bulb in the carvings, it is a COMPRESSED AIR TANK! The 'insulator' is a piston type of bellows system and they are using the weight of the compressed air to assist in compressing more air to fill the bags made from the finely woven, dampened carpets with the tassels tied together and overlapped. The bags were used to lift the heavy stones, and the compressed air was also used for other functions (like squeezing crystals against phosphors to create light that doesn't burn.

[SufferTH]

A question if you will... how does one make one of these? Also, i beleive these used to be refered to as "liquid light generators"

[vistigioful]

Cool.

[Renatodonadio]

That's the "Lamp of Dendera". In the egyptian temple of Dendera there is a picture of something resembling a cathodic tube or a lamp like that

[Energyfield]

The earliest examples of Egyptian glassware (1504-1450 BC), are vessels marked Pharaoh Thoutmosis III.

[69theusualsuspects69]

This may seem stupid to some people as I haven't really researched alot into ancient egypt but would they have had glass??

If not whats everyones thoughts on what the bulb?

what would or could be made of?

[frankensteinmoneymac]

@69theusualsuspects69 That's a great question actually. The truth is that they were highly skilled glass makers for their day, but not of completely clear glass like we have today..the glass they made was usually of vivid color. I have heard of them making transparent colored glass though.such as blue. Another possibility for a light bulb is they may have just worked with quartz crystals.If they ancient Mayans could make Crystal Skulls then I imagine Egyptians could likely make a quartz bulb.

[CCRkunk88]

what song is that?

[rweerakkody4565]

lava lamp?

[solidsnorky]

I want one ! Did you build this? If so, share how you did it or where you seen it. Im just dying to burn down my house.

[stayjit1]

It's a little more complicated than that. Slave economies were always stagnant regarding machinery. A portion of the free population was needed to police the slaves, but lets face it, slaves are cheap. They can be 'employed' to make their own clothes, their own food, and leave them alone at night and they begin to replicate. What a system!

[mogueyou]

what music is this?

[shappens1]

Hello! I would also like to know what is the music that is being played on the piano in the background of video. It's very nice!

[Energyfield]

@shappens1 Beethoven - Pathetique sonata 2nd movement

[shappens1]

@Energyfield Thanx and Best Regards to You.

[greenstarcoatings]

Energyfield how is this made? can i put them in my room?

[pem13]

@bizmark1488 If God is a perfect being than he has no need for science and experimentation. Nobel prizes go to those who make great contributions to society or those who make great discoveries. God has done neither, religion is merely a world wide schism and as for discoveries, if he is all knowing then I doubt he could discover anything unknown. The peace prize would be the last thing I would give a jealous callous God.

[guitaoist]

So they got Glass somehow? did they use windows?

[bizmark1488]

@guitaoist YES the Ancient people's did have class window's & they even had duble glass'ed window's, that is to say they have found ancient biulding's with window's made with 1 sheet of glass on the outside with a space then anuther sheet of glass on the inside "duble glazed window".

[bizmark1488]

@guitaoist And glass isn't raelly hard to make, it's only made from silica & sand I think then heated up to a molten form.

[littlemuskwa]

nice lamp now now make it work with no wires

[overunitydotcom]

Nice video !

Have a look at my recent videos at my Youtube Account overunityDOTcom , I am using  cheap ALUFOIL !

Just click on my username here.

Regards, Stefan.

[pem13]

Oy God is totally unrelated to science. Science is best at describing the world as it is anyways. If you want to invoke God to explain your morals and feelings, go for it. But God has no place in science.

[bizmark1488]

@pem13 I dont know about that !! I would think it would be fair to say that god is A scientist him self, Well deserving a nobel peace prize to say the least lol.

Think on it abit.

[pyropakman]

Religious discussion on a science video LOLZ.

[modderpomp]

ok, cool bulb, now how do I build one?

[FishyMoe]

I wonder why this technology was lost?

[fiesta1117cc]

what type of gas is put in this light bulb? Is it mercury vapour or argon

[wodrummerworld]

Is this one of those videos that You Tube replaced the audio track with some piano muzak, or what's with the tune that doesn't seem to fit?

[sqhschief]

Can you tell me the name of the song?

[RealSlimEmre]

Beethoven - Pathetique sonata 2nd movement.

[sqhschief]

Thanks a lot bro.

[leewardstyle]

I'd like to go back in time and gaslight the pesky ancient egyptians.

[forwardbias]

There is a city 14K years ago, found in ruins with blocks scattered around, so smoothly cut, and they fit into each other like pre made blocks, forget the name of the city or the stone used, the only thing harder that cut of cut the rocks was diamonds and this was in the early copper age. Also to build the pyrimids in the 20 year time frame as claimed, a stone had to be layed every 7 seconds, weighing many tons each!!! How the hell did they do that without modern machines?

[PremonitionSociety]

yeah yea, i just saw that on History with something about this Bulb, and the Ancient Greek 'AntiKeythera" Device.. It was saying maybe the ancients ahad a bit of Help from ET.. ;)

[benjwgarner]

Everybody knows aliens built the pyramids, duh! XD

I sense tin-foil-hattery.

[offamychain]

Try the math on your claim....then look up the number of blocks which are ACTUALLY in the Great Pyramid.....and you'll quickly see that you need to do your research BEFORE posting on the internet. :) :)

[Thebumguy]

[andrei128]

Doesn't it require a vacuum pump ?

[Energyfield]

Theoretically speaking the industrial revolution

could have started over 2000 years ago with

the advent of the first machines. But back in

those days there were slaves who accomplished

all necessary tasks and the rulers at the time

saw no need to develop complicated machines

which were less efficient and would cause

unemployment of manual labourers.

[OsightblinderO]

@Energyfield Theoretically the industrial revolution starts with whatever revolution changes the industrial world. World...not egyptian civilization...world. Spell it with me. w. o. r. l. d. world.

[mutapopulusnigra]

@Energyfield LOL you dumb ass its just a rule of supply and demand. ie in past times LABOUR = PEOPLE = CHEAP......... MATERIALS = EXPENSIVE .... therefore there is no demand for machine made items. however in modern times LABOUR = PEOPLES TIME = PRICEY ........ MATERIALS = MASS PRODUCTION = CHEAP. PLS remove your youtube account and go back to school before making comments.

[silkvein]

I find it interesting that all the high tech of the past deteriorated into the primitive practices of our more recent ancestors. The fact is that these high end techs DID exist and were not rediscovered or improved upon until very recently. This leads me to believe that technology was passed down by a much wiser collective of humans or intelligent beings. We simply weren't at the innovative and curious stage that we are now, and the intellect required for upkeep and care wasn't there yet.

[needparalegal]

Yeah, we are real curious. 20% of Americans think the sun revolves around the Earth.

[silkvein]

And we've also made bombs capable of destroying entire cities..... I'd call us curious. Not exactly the most productive, but surely curious.

We didn't develop these technologies. They were given to us. We simply haven't been truly interested or innovative enough ourselves until recent times. Yes, there are ignorant people, but there are also those like ourselves who choose to intelligently and respectfully debate possibilities such as this. 200 yrs ago, we'd be burned at the stake.

[needparalegal]

Don't be so confident that you won't be burned at the stake:)

[silkvein]

Well said and very true....

If that's the case, then I welcome it. I'm sure it won't tickle, but I'd be much happier w/ my life were I to be burned at the stake for what I believe in than to stand idly by.

[needparalegal]

Not me, I have a Bible and Koran ready to go. Just waiting to see who the winner is. It was just that easy even to escape the Inquisition. As long as you confessed to being in league with Satan they let you off with a light sentence and took all your property. The only reason they tortured and killed people is because they wouldn't confess.

[Flumphinator]

@needparalegal

If you're just waiting for one to win out over the other, then neither side will want you. It's about faith, not being on the winning side...

[needparalegal]

Faith is for fools. I could no more turn off my intellect than I could stop using my eyes or my ears. Faith is the result of fear. Fearfull humans invent things to have faith in because they are too weak to face reality.

[Flumphinator]

@needparalegal

Faith is the complete opposite of fear. Faith is doing something with the knowledge that it very well may fail, and believing in something that very well may not exist without being shown any evidence whatsoever.

Fear? No. It may have originated as attribution, but it is far from fear.

[ThePusscat22]

you obviously havent been touched by god yet,

[alteans]

and you have? what does look,feel or imagined like? lolz..

[ThePusscat22]

it feels great.

[Flumphinator]

@silkvein

Say that while they light the fire, and we'll see.

[Flumphinator]

@silkvein

No, not really. There has always been innovation and philosophical thinking (except in the East). The problem with technology is that it develops exponentially. With the exception of the Dark Ages, it just started very slow, and now is doubling every 18 months.

It's absurd to think that nobody ever had courage to truly innovate. Preposterous.

[silkvein]

So where are the lightbulbs that have been invented between the recent re-invention of said technology and now? How is developing from using naturally occurring electricity to oil lamps moving exponentially forward? I don't believe that no one ever had courage to innovate, but examples such as this support the case that a certain amount of technology was obtained before it could be widely understood or practically implemented. Whether it was developed or gifted...either way is interesting!

[needparalegal]

What few understand is that our technology grew from a single source. Patents. The moment the French began to award patents based on the merit of the inventor technology exploded in society. Before that technology was always a guarded secret. The nature of patents makes the information public in exchange for a short term monopoly.

[Flumphinator]

@needparalegal

By the East, I mean East of the Mid-East. The West was and still is the only place that originated thought itself as a subject of thought. The East never had the scientific method, and therefore only made discoveries and progressed due to accidents, and when this did happen, they attributed it to superstition.

And tech in the West was only guarded because it was expensive.

[cobrachoppergirl]

Technology never grows from a single source. Watch Edmund Burke's series The Day the Universe Changed, and also his Connections series. Most inventions spawn unlikely other inventions, which themselves, find uses in unpredictable and unforeseen ways that are then refined further. The process of invention is rather sloppy, haphazzard, and random throughout history and never linear.

[Flumphinator]

@silkvein

Your point is precisely why it's so absurd. If the Egyptians had lightbulbs, they would have stuck around and not had to be reinvented several centuries later.

And if the technology was "gifted", why did they not also gift a power source? That's like giving someone a car when no gas exists in the world. Absurd.

[silkvein]

Power source? you mean like the batteries they've found w/ acidic residue from grapes that are dated close to 2,000 B.C. ??? Did you do ANY research before you decided to pretend to know what you are talking about? Look up "Baghdad Battery"

[Flumphinator]

@silkvein

There are several problems with the Baghdad Battery. Firstly, they were hermetically sealed with bitumen. Since they are essentially a galvanic device, this would be extremely impractical, since the acid would need to be replenished regularly.

The voltages obtained from the Baghdad Battery are also orders of magnitude lower than what you would need to accomplish an arc light like the carving allegedly depicts.

In short, it's just not possible.

I DO know what I'm talking about...

[TheTwistedGypsy]

@Flumphinator ...not so sure about that...like the bible says...theres nothing new under the sun, and that includes todays tec wonders......

[panzuman]

wheres it say that? i go to church and read the bible im curious as to where this is

[TheTwistedGypsy]

@panzuman ..well actaully I believe it goes something like nothing new under heaven or on the earth...but please dude thats a lot of scaning and reading which I already do. Maybe it might be easier for us both if you just asked your pastor if it does, I think he could save us both a lot of time :-)

[panzuman]

alright then my question for the week thanx dude

[TheTwistedGypsy]

@panzuman ...can you let me know also as I use this often, and want to be sure I'm doing so correctly....Peace bro, and all praise to God :-)

[panzuman]

so ya its in ecclesiastes chapt 1 in some bibles 3 in others but it has multiple meanings like the matter was discovered but its use were not yet fulfilled meaning that there are in ventions just people dont know about them but god does its really interesting read all of that book i did that today and it really gets your mind going :)

[TheTwistedGypsy]

@panzuman sweet bro...I thought it was there...just couldn't place the chapter verse...thank you taking the time to help me with that :-)

[needparalegal]

The east had it to. Many very sophisticated Persian and Arab scholars fought the scourge of Islam using irony and sarcasm. Of course most of them were beheaded eventually. Journalism and literature only works against the literate, of which Muslims generally are not.

[Kenzofeis]

@needparalegal I think you might have summed up the sources for the hadiths very nicely here, in the second sentence. So much summed up in a tiny nutshell.

[Energyfield]

Examples of great inventors who existed in antiquity over 2000 years ago:

Heron of Alexandria invented the first working steam engine called an

Aeopile as well as syringes, self contained fountains, windwills and vending

machines.

Ctesibius invented pneumatics, siphons and water jets which may have

worked as sophisticated flame throwers in warfare...

[foobee2]

Yes, great inventors, well ahead of their times. Great inventors whose inventions still consisted of brass and copper tubing, wooden frames and rope lashed joints. Now I'm not bashing their prowess or achievements, they are great and worthy of respect. However, saying that hand ground brass gears should be proof that they had technologies that we don't is foolish. It goes hand in hand with people who rant about aliens and "the ancients". They were smart...compared to everyone else back then.

[HanKatarn]

@Energyfield

Look up Greek Firethrowers

[Silkfox]

Still curious how they moved rocks that were used for walls, rocks so large we don't even know the true weight and our cranes today can't lift.

[phalkenphalken]

"swamp gas" (sarcasm)

[foobee2]

True, but think of a technology gap of only 100 years...say a Vietnam era tank on a civil war battlefield, it would be untouchable. Now move that gap a bit to include technology barely refined enough today (Mag Lev) to warrant application in a very narrow field (trains). If an ancient civ had it refined enough to use it as a construction tool...it's very hard to believe that they would not use that level of tech to keep themselves from being conquered. Ergo - THEY DIDN'T HAVE THAT LEVEL OF TECH!

[foobee2]

Point being is that innovation does not exist in a vacuum. Invention breeds invention. You will not find one piece of advanced tech in amongst bronze age tech. If the civ has something like Mag Lev, it's unthinkable that they wouldn't have a wide array of tech at least close to that level of sophistication. You don't find Vcr's in feudal Japan, or nuclear power in ancient Greece. You very much do not find Mag Lev in Bronze Age Egypt. If you did, there would be a plethora of other tech with it.

[Silkfox]

Still the lightbulb did exist and so does the bagdad battery. and speak of VCR it was inferior to the beta yet porn backed VCR so it won out. :P Anyways Tank can be stopped tracks easily blown apart by a cannon ball. Provided they knew that weakness.

[phalkenphalken]

Hmmm, interesting.... thank you for the reply.

I never really thought of that from that perspective.

Anyway, it would really be nice to find out if they had any brilliant inventions that were lost in the time of their era that could have equaled or passed our level of knowledge that we might not have to this day. Thumbs up for foobee2

[zthetha]

So what if it is a fake? The guys who could build the pyramids with antigravity magnetism could easily have invented the fucking lightbulb. Could Edison build the great pyramid?

[eddiedaskull]

some bitch gave you a negitive one

Me Iam going to right that wrong and cancel out his thumbs down with my thumbs up because you make a good point.

By the way Testla was better then Edison

[ineurodreams]

Tesla was a much better inventor and knew a million times more about electricity than Edison. The converse was true about Edison and business. Edison was even quoted saying that he didn't need to be the best at math, he could always hire someone to do the work for him.

Edison was a great business man. If him and Tesla would have been able to work together, we would be so much further ahead right now. Each man was great in his own ways.

[foobee2]

"build the pyramids with antigravity magnetism"........HAHAHAHAHAHA­H. Things like this are hilarious.Anyone who thinks ancient cultures were this advanced forgets simple things like : " If they had technology of this caliber, then the culture that conquered them must have had even greater tech prowess". Or did the Egyptians just choose to not make weapons as advanced as their civil engineering devices were. And if they did make such weapons, the romans must have had laser tanks.

[Silkfox]

Technology is great and all but a simple thing like a rock can take down a turbine adn there goes your air power. Technology doesn't garentee your survival.

[SKYSURVEYOR]

explain us please

5stars if not fake !

[Danofromtheblock]

The fact that Egyptians were using these very long lasting bulbs is true. Records says, once they opened a tomb and after 3.000 years the same bulb was giving little light! Due to the orthority's (religious and ethic problems) we still don't read this and many other mystic things in our history books. The materia used to led those bulbs are know by othority, but forbidden for us, like most of the alternative info. This bulb on this vid is done by software. Grtz

[GoldieTalon]

this isnt fake, mythbusters did a show on it. they used canopic jars with copper pipes and citrus juice for a constant low volt charge, believe it was 4v per jar. it was then used, and here is where theory comes in, as lights so people carving deep in tombs to light things up, (there was no soot on the ceiling that torches or lamps would create).

the historians also suggest it was used in metallurgy applications

Heiroglyphs only show the lightbulb app used though.

[bekrijabo]

I will use a few of this bulbs 2 grow some green...

[KeroroGunsouTX]

Needs more info.

[GARCESA2]

My Eyes hurt !

Its too bright

[AAAAkuuuu]

nice

[UFOMAN618]

egyptians understood batteries and voltage multiplication using series wired batteries (voltaic stacks)

[windoes98se]

how do u make this

[guimbadriver]

hey the first fluorescent bulb light,,, Tesla arriveD later...

[chngngsldr54]

COOLNESS!!!!!!!!! (!!!)

[KnightChatX]

Looks cool.

[killaconquerguy]

awesome O.O

[ddcl]

means zero with out audio!!!!!

or some textual information

[Narcomics]

I think some people post videos not for youtubers, but so they can embed them to their websites with actual explanations.

Youtube is only their space linkup.
