I always though how weird it was that old lights were so bright but the source was so small.

well explained..excellent

So much more correct than CNBC news. And way more funny. - I was first ) It`s actually quite intriguing that some inventions did happen at the same time on different parts of the world. Patent holywars )

what was the old channel called

Incandescent lamps were (and to a certain extent still are) used for street lighting applications.

Very informative.

Thanks Cory from Oneyplays

used them in late 70s on the littlejohn camera, they had lots of flouride in them,about 15% or more

From a consumer perspective this lamp unites all the disadvantages of candles, oil lamps and gas lighting. From a producer/trader/supplier perspective this lamp unites all the advantages of candles, oil lamps and gas lighting. A candle burns down and needs to be replaced. A carbon arc lamp has two carbon sticks that both burn down and need to be replaced. A gas lantern needs to be connected to a supply line and needs to receive constant gas supply. It needs to be supplied with gas from a grid. A carbon arc lamp is electrical. It needs to be connected to an electric grid. It needs constant supply from a supply line. An oil lamp needs to be refilled with oil. A carbon arc lamp has moving parts. The moving parts have bearings. The bearings need to be oiled from time to time. On top of that it may need maintenance.

Good explanation. I should build a small one with similar regulating coils but no choke, with something like 40V DC and 10amps. Wich i think its the minimal requirement. I think would look nice cotton covered wire, but the wire on the coils become hot? Can cotton withstand the high temperature?

Im moving videos off of our old video channel and to this one, so you may have seen this one before.

Dope

Why are movie arc lights white and not greenish? It actually produces the closes white to sunlight without any green spikes. Probably has a Color Rendering Index of 100. From what you showed here, movie arc lamps seem to operate the same way, just bigger and more powerful. What changed?

Hertha Aryton got rid of the horrible hissing made by the lamps.

can i buy one??

I used the Carbon Rods out of a Lantern Battery, and Cranked it right up to 200 Amps. All was Bright, no Shadow, but the Rods lasted only 1 Minute

What cool technology. Up there with Neon Lights.

The Bagdad battery may or may not have been the first. Also there was talk of ability to build capacitors in ancient Egypt, so we will not discount these completely.

You say Volta's battery was the first in the western world, which implies that there was a perhaps an earlier battery in the eastern world. What was the latter?

The picture of Vasily Petrov is actually wrong, it should be Laplace.

I think it's so cool that the headlights in my late model Mustang use basically this same 19th century technology.

Why were they so noisy? I know that transformers buzz because of the 50 or 60hz frequency of the lines, but would they buzz under DC power like from aVoltic Pile? I'm not really familiar with high voltage and have never worked on anything using it, mostly because I'm afraid of accidentally killing myself or someone else.

Wow they got those bright white light so early?! Awesome... i got Herr because i was searching for ww2 searchlights...because i did Not inderstand what light Source in the 1940's van Make such bright white light ...that powerful it can light up the Sky...the answer: carbon arc I didn't Know about that I thought the only there was incandescent ...then xenon i thought singe 1990 maybe (arc lamp ) and latest the led Technology

No František Křižík?

How were arc lamps like these powered?

arc lamp is like burning gunpowder for light

Haha, Googled about arc lamps. accidentally went to your read on homepage AND watch your video at the same time not realizing it's the same creator until the pictures shown were literally the same

I heard Carbon Arc Lamps have the best Light Quality even above Incandescents but are the most inefficient Electrical Lighting.

Ooooo

But be careful! The lights from that era were a different voltage than what we have today. And, many of them used 133 Hertz AC, 200 Hertz AC and even DC. Electricity was not standardized back then and voltage and frequency was all over the place and all across the board. Not only that but the label on the fixture will have fallen off and no telling what the power requirements were at that point. ARC LAMPS FROM THE 1800'S CAN'T BE RUN ON 60 HERTZ AC. Doing so WILL damage components. If you do want to attempt running an 1800's arc lamp, I would HIGHLY recommend the DC model. But I would STRONGLY discourage running an 1800's era carbon arc lamp at all if you can help it. Although with DC you can series batteries together and get the voltage that a DC arc lamp needed, I would STRONGLY recommend against it and stick with mercury vapor, high pressure sodium, and metal halide. The open arc is a fire hazard and finding parts for those things would be impossible. Carbon arc lamps had the arc in the air. Like he said in this video. Carbon arc lamps did the arc in the air so, the arc was open. Common sense rules will tell you that open arcs are a fire hazard. My AHJ (Authorities Having Jurisdiction) won't allow me to use carbon arc lamps with good reason because of the open arc operating in the air. However, I have run into a few carbon arc lamps from that era and I almost always prefer to simply stick a metal halide ballast and MH bulb into it. Finding carbon rods would be impossible. And, the open arc is a MAJOR and BIG TIME fire insurance claim just waiting to happen, insurance will be a problem with running open arc lights like this and can even become a legal liability risk if you are not careful. Mercury vapor, high pressure sodium, and metal halide are CLOSED ARC which are safer. Because, everything is all inside the arc tube and inside a glass bulb. See the difference?

My car headlights are HID-XENON. Very bright!

AH! Same function as a vape (e-cigarette)

LOL Now we use LEDS.
