Boiling water inside a light bulb

The 10,000 watt halogen studio bulb had air in the envelope and it was not usable, it began to smoke inside on low power up.
The filament almost resembling garage door springs were still intact, we could not resist a crazy experiment that has not been done before that we are aware of.
The lamp was filled with water by breaking off the gas filling pinch seal on the top then filling from the tap.
The filament in these lamps burns at 3200 degrees, we were sure it would boil water.
If the water filled lamp had been put on 240 volts it would have ruptured instantly, so we used just 30 volts going into the lamp, with a few amps of course because the filament has a much lower resistance when cold thus it will draw more current.
It boiled the water rather well, pressure was building in the lamp, steam was almost being ejected so hard it was nearing the ceiling. The lamp was being controlled by a variable voltage transformer, the water would be on a nice simmer, and one turn of the voltage dial, the water in the lamp turns to a boiling fury.

[@SamSitar]

i want to buy a photonicinduction tea kettle.

[@jordannewell5478]

+Sam Sitar something tells me Photoninduction products would far exceed Energy Star requirements ;)

[@TestECull]

Energy star compliance just means the machine needs X more cycles to do a given task, where X is how many stars they give it on energy efficiency.

[@leokimvideo]

Photon, the oil companies will pull this down because it shows water turning to steam without the use of oil. We all know what happened to the steam car. Next video should be highly illuminating

[@Photonicinduction]

It might be a bit hot mate! Say hi to Ed if you see him, I know he is busy working.

[@securi-t]

I'd say it depends on what his local power plant's fuel source is, LOL!

[@m3sca1]

i have a theory big oil wants "we the people" to re-invent the water car, so they can force water onto the stock market as a commodity like oil or gold....water cars have been done so many times-the earliest reference my search has found was 1938 in the U.S.

[@logitech4873]

+m3sca1 Do you mean steam powered cars?

[@m3sca1]

logitech4873 steam, hydrogen, water + carbon, there are many ways water has been used to propel vehicles. I don't just mean steam.

Hey Photon, i just wanted to say i freaking love your videos.

PS: Favortie vid was you exploding coconuts with electricity.

[@DeathbyKillerBong]

Today i learned that not every video needs a "i popped it". Thanks for being back again and making video mate, its great.

[@mrmustard1975]

When you combine this channel with Big Clive, it's like the best classes I had back in school. You sit down, you have a great teacher that imparts you with the knowledge you seek, teaches you the theories, etc. ... then you take those theories, go outside and blow shit up. Damn, I miss those days...

[@GaminGit]

So good to have you putting out regular vids again mate! GG

[@techforever1970]

I'm sure it would be interesting to you, dear reader, to know that this lamp costs £520GBP. 520GBP for a lamp. 😂

[@jamesbizs]

It was broken. So it’s worth noting

[@jamesbizs]

And it’s costs make sense in the context of where they are normally used. It’s literally 100-200 bulbs worth of watts. So about 3gbp per normal bulb equivalents

[@martingibbons2488]

Still cheap compared to some projector lamps!

If you put a toaster in the bath could you boil the bath water?

maybe if it was magic

[@blackbird1234100]

well....jump in and see

[@-Window-Licker-]

+TheMagicToaster you've waited your entire KZbin life to type that haven't you?

[@SuperAWaC]

if it kept working perfectly, sure. it would just take a while. you could definitely do it if you hooked up a stovetop coil to mains.

[@kensclark]

Maybe if you used distilled water. Taper water would contain too many dissolved ions, and it could cause for a large amount of sparks.

[@azyfloof]

Christ, Andy 😂 How long did it take you to dry everything?!

[@UsePINpadtoCompleteTransaction]

This is exactly why anyone who is interested in electricity should watch everything you've done... You're a gentleman and a scholar! I look forward to meeting you one day, if ever possible...

A bit of a contradiction there mate :)

[@asskicker6557]

That was awesome,can`t wait to see the next one,nice to see ya back.

[@yeeyee5117]

Lol. I think it would be interesting to see what'd happen with distilled water if a spring wasn't touching a wire or something so instead of heating the water it began to have the electricity directly move through the water to reach the terminals and perform electrolysis. Would be fun but dangerous cuz if it sparked...

[@toysareforboys1]

What if you boiled gasoline in it?!??!?!?

[@h0lx]

need oxygen in a good enough ratio for that, otherwise it will behave just like the water did

[@lazaglider]

+? I don't think you know how science works.

[@ron4937]

+Mr Mürk put a modest amount of watts through it via the Very Large Capacitor and it should explode. If the filaments remain afloat and burning for a while then a second explosion should follow soon as the gasoline has been thoroughly dispersed in the air. You can also place an operating spark gap next to the lamp just to be sure.

[@matthewrasmussen4181]

+Mr Mürk indeed, it's the vapor that's explosive, not the liquid itself.

[@apexmike849]

+Ron Garren Or simply arrange to crank the voltage so it arcs across the filament terminals as soon as there is no longer any resistance...
