Whenever I watch these "how it's made" I wonder how the machine itself was made???

@rcs300 3 жыл бұрын

Its fairly simple to imagine. everything that you can make even a paper airplane can be thought of a series of steps that you need to follow until the product is made. So all you have to do is think about the first step *cutting the glass tube at the right length, then think about how you can build a machine to cut the glass tubing for you. In the video you can see the cutter spinning as the tubing is put in place and forced through the cutter. by now im sure you can see in designing this machine for cutting the glass tubing, you also have to design a machine that can pickup the tubing that was loaded in the machine by a human, then the machine places the tubing in precise slots before its get passed through the cutter, the excess tubing is collected and likely sent to a recycling bin while the main part is sent to the next part of the manufacturing process.

"Actually people from many countries spell/say it aluminium, not aluminum. The US is the only country I know of that almost exclusively spells/pronounces it aluminum." ==Canada also uses Aloominum but the chemical name is actually aluminium, so the british way is the standard one.

@ChrisG3253032 8 жыл бұрын

Too right. We in new zealand follow the british way of spelling. We call "Aluminum" Aluminium. We spell "Color" Colour. And "Escalator" Esculator. And An "Elevator" is a Lift.

@FlintTD 6 жыл бұрын

Do you know why that is? The original namer of the element chose the name Aluminum first for around 5 years, then switched it to Aluminium after another scientist wrote in and said that it didn't sound "classical" enough. This caused a split in the spellings which was exacerbated by initial press releases and decades after by dictionaries. Then the guy a century later who later figured out how to efficiently produce the metal called it Aluminum in his publications. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium#Etymology

@carmelpule6954 7 жыл бұрын

At 3:39 the commentator says that the bulb bill work if connected to an electrical current. It is interesting that normally we connect the bulbs to an electrical voltage and they the current passes through. Perhaps saying that the bulb would work if we pass an electrical current through it but then one would somehow think of a current source where before on would think of a voltage source. Technically there is a difference in operation, but few will know of the subtle difference between a voltage source and a current source as far as their output impedances are concerned. The electronic people who worked with valves and transistors of FETs would know the differences between voltage sources and current sources.

Actually Edison discovered the filament composition that would survive the repeated heat cycling every time the light was turned on and off. Heinmann determined the best composition of the class envelope. You are correct however that Edison mass produced and marketed his light bulb.

@12voltvids 11 жыл бұрын

The only reason the centennial bulb is still running is it is running at very low power. Take a standard light bulb and run it on low voltage and see how long it lasts.. I have a 240 volt rated bulb rated at 50 watts that has been running here for the past 30 or so years. This old bulb I have was from the UK, and was in a lamp bought at a garage sale. Yes it lights up, and puts out the equivalant of about a 20 watt bulb. I have it lighting an outdoor staircase, and it is never turned off.

@randacnam7321 13 жыл бұрын

@midnightcharger2 Filament thickness determines the lamp operating current at the desired filament operating temperature (lower filament temperature increases lamp life, higher filament temperature increases efficiency and color temperature). The electrical potential (incorrectly called voltage) of the lamp is determined by the filament length. The lamp power is the product of the current and electrical potential.

Actually burning coal (which is still the main source for electricity) releases mercury, too. (coal also contains many other hazardous impurities, so saving energy has even more advantages). If you compare the amount of mercury in the CFL with the amount not emitted through energy saving over the lifetime of the CFL you end up with less mercury in the environment (this would even assume you broke all CFLs). But I agree to one thing: I don't want to break it at home.

I run plenty of LED bulbs in my house, and CFL bulbs. LEDs don't have the brightness of CFL bulbs. In my kitchen, I have 10 23 watt CFL bulbs with reflectors. I tried to use LEDs but even the brightest ones I could find were not as brite, and they didn't save much more power. They were 16 watts vs 23 watts. CFL give the biggest band for the buck. LED are suited to lower light level requirements, and incandescant to things like atics, and closets where there are not on for long.

the air inside the lamp is replaced with argon in order for it to operate AS WELL AS to lengthen its lifespan like they state here. Without it, the filemant would only glow red hot (not white hot) and would burn out in seconds

I don't like the new LED lamps because they make a lot of electrical noise. And you're right, they are very physically ugly, even if their light can be tailored to immitate a nice incandescent color temperature. I have some burned-out 25W coloured incandescents here that are so old, they have brass (not aluminium) bases. I wonder if I should keep them as momentos.

I like incandescent but the spirals CFLs are better, those from Philips or Osram don't distort the colors and last too much, I'm using them since six or seven years ago and until now I had to replace only three of 12 bulbs in my house, I've put some with 23w and 42w in the kitchen and in my work room they are really good and my ceiling lamps stops to be burned by the intense heat... I recommend them! But those with generic brands definetly are craps, don't by them...
