high energy helical xenon lamp

Test run of a high energy flash lamp that was made in the 1970s #shorts
Helical lamps like this are obsolete for even flashlamp pumped lasers, so they are rarely made any more and are thus very difficult to find. Linear flashlamps are almost always a better option in driving solid state lasers. Not only are linear lamps more efficient for pumping laser media, they also have significantly lower inductance than a helical lamp. That being said, it is hard to top the beauty of these old helical lamps.

For anyone who hasn't seen the ruby laser video yet: The thing you saw explode wasn't actually a target, this laser is so stupidly powerful that it annihilated the lense even though it absorbs almost no energy from the laser that went through it.

If I remember that's the lens exploding, actually. Even though it has a low absorbance to the energy passing through it the laser is so powerful that the tiny fraction is absolutely enough to do damage. The slow motion shows the flash and fire coming off the other side of the lens as an added bonus.

Hello. I asked you once already in another video, but since you made a whole video solely about the lamp, I am going to ask once more here: Where did you manage to get this flash lamp? Not that I would buy it at this point, both because of my low budget and its rarity, but I'm still quite curious. Thank you for your answer in advance and for all the inspiration you have given me. Have a nice day.

I apologize if this is a problem on my side and this message gets duplicated. That's what I thought, I look for most of these things on eBay as well. But as you said, there are no helical xenon lamps of this size to be found. If I may give you a tip, try looking at Eastern-European auction sites (I'll try to mention their names in a following reply) from time to time as well - without much of a struggle, I managed to find a GU-81m pentode for half the price including shipping to the Czech Republic (I don't think that shipping to the USA is terribly expensive, as well), not to mention that it's fairly possible for you to find things of some rarity. Indeed, the sellers don't speak English, most of the time, but an internet translator takes care of this problem just fine.

Xenon lamps are so cool! Fun fact, xenon lamps are what they use to power the current DLP Digital projectors at movie theaters! They cost around $10,000 and get so hot that just the oil from one fingerprint can cause them to explode when at temp. We used thick welding cloves and lots of PPE when hot swapping them!
