2 kV MOT's versus some CFL lamps

Some MOT / CFL experiments were done with two video camera's at the same time.
All meters in use were observed closely

I mixed up 360 - 480 and 1080 HD formats and it appears to work well

I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)

@daewooparts These lamps are major polutors of landfills

Looks like you have the same carpet as photonicinduction ;-)

[RODALCO2007]

@lebeyes The garage floor is from concrete, bit easier to clean.

You should edit the ammeter closeup over top of the main camera, so it kinda runs more fluidly, without it being replayed.

[RODALCO2007]

@thewii552 Yes that would be great, but I haven't got the editing software for it.

I LMAO'd so hard when that CFL lamp melted, fell over then broke loose and fell off the edge. TOO FUNNY!  :-D

Thanks for showing,

You do know that they had mercury inside , well microparticles

I loved the big flameout! Now that was something else! Poor alligator clips. Mine had the same fate. I haven't gotten any replacements yet, maybe i'll get some, then make use of the remaining SLA's I have to melt twist ties, paper clips and pins. Hmm, maybe even volt a few cockroaches too! (on video that is).

@RODALCO2007 nch software's Videopad can do that with the Overlay feature. I recently tried that with a triangled vlog with three video streams. it was... nice! The software is free for AVI files and the paid version allows you to save in other video formats.

@ms63129 none of the CFLs with a switchmode PSU inside last long. I've tried lots of them.. Osram, Philips.. you name it... none of them lasted more than a year or 1 and a half at best.

the only CFL i have which lasted (a lot) longer than that is a Philips SL18 (18W, 900lumen) with a conventional ballast in the base, dating from September 1985 (2 years older than i am!)

@daewooparts

In a few years (but may take a decade or three even) LED's (OLED's maybe?) will completely phase out CFL's and incands.

[DragonFlyback256]

Sweet cat. The first CFL is the best so far.

@daewooparts now thats how you make a blacklight out of a normal lamp
