i was bored one day in ap chem and I had my bike light battery I made with me, so I did this. It was a 10a/h 12v battery.

@ilikepie9519 did u burn anything?

[tridentvii]

[260830107]

@tridentvii 12 volts should be enough, if not then try 24v

@BlueRaptorTiger just like a regular ligth bulb eh? did you know that when Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he has a way to make it last forever? But then he thought twice and figured that he won't make much money if no one ever changes their light bulbs.

@CarnalDiafragma cool story :D

[saltydog45]

Gee,people really need to read up on history...what do you think Edison used?

[joshfontanella]

put it in a vaccum then itll last ages or better yet replace the ambient gasses with aargon and i think nitrogen might work aswell
