  • Fluorescent tube literally melting with flames at 12,000 volts!
    Music: • Fluorescent tube burno...
    At about 2:00 the tube loses vacuum but at 12kv the arc can still be maintained and this causes the power going through the lamp to rise significantly and heat it up a lot. This begins heating the glass to the point that it becomes conductive which then allows the current to flow through it like a resistor thus melting the glass! ( 2:24 )

    At 2 minutes it almost looks like a high pressure sodium sparking up...

    i've always wanted to see a tube subjected to massive overload, thanks for sharing! great video

    @suzukir123 Actually it was pretty safe because I was always more than 3 feet from the lamp and 12000v cannot arc further than that and my camera was on a tripod 5 feet away for safety (just zoomed in).

    WOW! Very nice kill! I love how the 'tube' turned to a puddle of glass LOL
    This is very impressive! Have you ever done anything like this before?

    @XmasLightsGuy I used a transformer designed to convert the 12,000v from a substation to 240v for a home. They can be used in reverse so I got 12,000v from 240v mains! It had to be ballasted to 7kw instead of running at the full 16kw because the load would have overloaded the mains wiring in the building and caused serious problems.

    WHAAATT?!! You melted it!! :-D ROFL & LMAO !!
    That's nuts! A tube being over-powered so much, it melts! :-D
    I think I partly achieved that when I tried to wire one filament of a 2D 28w lamp straight to the mains, restricted by a 2kw fan heater, switched to 1 kW, as the tube glowed-up real good, went into an arc-up inside, & then at the source of the arc-up, it got hot enough to make the tube vent-off...Somthing which I wasn't quite expecting!
    Thanks for showing this,

    The glass was already melted. But how was the discharge till then? The electrodes were already disconnected. But how was the discharge till now?

  • @ihatemockingbirds
    @ihatemockingbirds 11 років тому +1

    wow is all i can say... how much current did you run thru the tube? it must be quite a bit (more than a NST can do) to heat the glass to where it's conductive...

      Blast with HV until the resulting heat started melting the glass.

    Higher voltage = longer arcs.
