The kids in the neighborhood are strictly ordered to run into the houses and to duck and cover immediately, whenever they hear Photonicinduction rummaging around in the yard/garden. He's got a deal with the power station. Whenever he starts to make a YT video he has to call few minutes before, so they can pull out a few control rods to accommodate the extra load on the generator shaft with extra steam to the turbine. Before that, the power frequency in the area always dropped too much in such cases. "Sir, we're down at 46 Hz!" - "Damn, this Photonicinduction must be in his attic again, making a YT-video! Is there is a bright blue flare at the horizon and a smell of ozone in that area?" I love this channel, which I discovered by accident. It's simply amazing. Thanks for sharing all the great stuff.

The reason that 30 kw lamp most likely failed, is that it's supposed to be water cooled with deionized water. I used to work on 70mm IMAX 48 fps film projector that used almost the same lamp.

@TheExplosiveGuy 2 жыл бұрын

You're probably right, it looks like it has coolant ports on the ends of each electrode. With 30kW of power I'm not exactly surprised. I imagine the coolant goes through at least a portion of the electrodes inside to keep them from melting like it did here...

I worked as a projectionist for many years and handled big xenons a fair bit. Loads of fun. The projector lamphouses were air cooled and had safety switches so the lamps wouldn't operate with the doors open. We taped the switches closed and ran them wearing safety gear, highly dangerous and not recommended but it was the best way to align the mirrors properly. They give such a clean bright white light. Had one explode once whilst running a film, that got my attention! I was also nearly killed once when the main lead broke free of its securing clip and shorted out on the dowser doors, which were opened by an aluminium handle I had my hand on. A thin plastic (cosmetic) coating was all that separated me from 110 amps. There was an almighty bang and I leapt away just in time. The lamphouse was destroyed, needless to say. Great vids, keep up the good work!

A cold Xenon lamp doesn't really do much when you break it, despite the internal pressure. When we disposed of old Xenon lamps we'd just wrap them in the cloth wrap that they came in, put them in the bottom of a dustbin, and then break them with a broom handle. We never got more than a slight 'pop', but then there were only 1.6kW lamps :) Never had one go bang when it was hot, but our projector service engineer has told us many stories about lamp housings being turned roughly spherical by the force of the explosion. The electrodes sometimes get fired out through the front of the lamp housing as well. Fun times. Digital projectors these days are quite boring by comparison :D Do be aware though that you can give yourselves accidental sun burn if you play around with arc/discharge lamps. Lots of UV come out of these lamps. Ask me how I know....

@Photonicinduction 9 жыл бұрын

ihavenoideahere they are highly dangerous and under extreme pressure when cold and even more pressure when hot.

@ihavenoideahere 9 жыл бұрын

***** They aren't that dangerous if you take care handling them. The most dangerous thing about them is the intense heat (as hot as the surface of the sun, apparently), as you found out when your lamp melted. In my job I use all sorts of high powered lamps and the single biggest danger comes from accidentally touching the glass/quartz with your bare hands. The natural oils on your skin will cause hotspots which in turn often make lamps explode, or at least melt a hole in their envelopes. Thats why a lot of lamps, discharge in particular, come with alcohol wipes to clean them prior to use. Found this on Ushios website : XENON ARC LAMP DISPOSALXenon arc lamps must be disposed of in a careful and proper manner in order to prevent injury. 1. Wear a protective mask, leather gloves and protective clothing when handling a spent lamp. 2. Place the used lamp in its original protective case and original cardboard packaging (box) that was provided when the lamp was new. 3. Firmly attach tape around the original cardboard box to seal the lamp securely. 4. From approximately three (3) feet in height, drop the cardboard box, with the lamp and protective case inside, onto a hard floor to break the lamp. We could never break the lamps using this method as the quartz envelope is so strong. Hence why we broke them in a bin with a broom handle.

Face shield, goggles, thick leather gloves and jacket. When cool they dont have too much pressure but still wicked dangerous. When they have ran their life we put them in a large PVC pipe with a screw cap then drop the tube. Bulb pops inside (with quite the bang id like to add) then pour out the dust in the garbage. Wearing a respirator of course, can't imagine quartz dust would be very nice.

Just to add to this. We had a lamp fail about a year ago right after start up. Clearly had some air or something in it. Started it up, had good light output but quickly started to fall. We turned it off, let it cool and check the bulb and it was a beautiful blue color. The deposits left on the inside of the bulb looked like a painting of a galaxy with lots of Blues and yellow. Super cool to see!

I used to use these bulbs as a projectionist at a cinema. They are still widely used today. The colour changes over time to a more yellow light and then they need changing. The housing they live in has a big curved mirror to collect and focus all the light and point it through the hole at the 35mm film or DLP Digital chip these days. You have to have serious fans bringing cold air in and extracting the heat out of the compartment and some serious coolin for the DLP chip as they can go critical without it. Arc eye guaranteed if you look at these without the right eye protection ;-) Brought back some memories.

We make UV testing chambers using these bulbs, simulating up to three years in less than a month, the amount of extraction not just for cooling but for ozone removal, we make equipment for the PPE testing industry and the bulb is specific that we must have it running first for multiples of hours to acclimate or stabilise the bulb, then the samples are placed in the chamber, the test is carried out by a trained technician who has the procedure video recording. Once the samples were treated in the UV chamber, they would go on into other tests within the laboratory. It’s different and in a very specific sense, only three main competitors who makes these particular machines. Keep it up and shining bright, I’ll ask about some of the old bulbs that still work, we don’t use them after the test. Enjoy the show

Yes he didn't used the watercooling connections.

Damn, you should have build a laser with the big xenon and then burn everything that refuses to pop with it! But otherwise, you probably end in jail pretty quick then.

And for testing, i like how you put it on wooden chairs, surrounded by other flammable stuff... XD 👍🏾

yo I'm high as fuck and all i can think of is how beautiful that light is. science is so amazing man, getting to see a direct visual representation of the electrons flowing through a gas close up with a filter like that fills me with a profound sense of joy. thanks for this.

I remember changing those bulbs when I worked at cinema. The scariest one I changed had a crack in its side. Welding gloves and apron, and of course the face shield. Like literally handling a bomb

That is a really pretty bulb. You're lighting up the whole neighborhood it seems. Well those bugs flying around when the 30k was running probably went blind.

So, between the giant death laser and massively bright xenon lamps, do your neighbors believe you truly are a mad scientist. Honestly, I'd love to have a neighbor as insane as you, this stuff is fascinating and entertaining

I was going to say that's a nice IMAX bulb you got there. Yeah, much juice, much heat. You're not supposed to even get fingerprints on them because it causes uneven heating of the quartz crystal cover. Love the vids!

This happened in a party somewhere the party organizers used UVC germicidal light tubes instead of blacklight.
