And Produce UVC! Youll Smell Ozone, get Cancer and lose your Eyes.... I have 2 of theese in my UV Aircleaner... even the Stray light from the Back hurts, so it went in the Corner of the Room
I made this experiment 40 years ago, I was 15 years old and used to pick up these mercury high pressure bulbs from local exhibition center, used to brake outer casing and run them in my bedroom workshop hours and hours, I remember once exposed my eyes a very long period and i was nearly blinded permanently, it took me 3 weeks to get my vision get back to normal, it was excruciatingly painful, like someone stubbing your eyes with a knife over and over again. Obviously there was no uncle google those days and did not know how to get information.
Its been 3 years since you made this comment dude, I would appreciate it, if you could answer how long approximately did it take until you finally injured your eyes? And based on your experience and ONLY your experience, and not what the experts say, what would you say is the safe distance, time and exposure limit?
@@ThatThing1675 No problem. I still remember like yesterday. During the first incidence distance was no more than a meter, exposure would be approximately half an hour (above mentioned distance) did not feel the pain until midnight. from midnight to all day next day pain was unbearable, like exactly someone stabbing your eyes with a sharp object. the next day gradually pain started to ease and a week or so completely disappeared. in the mean time there was a strong ozone smell in the room (did not know what was it those days) i did not use any medication apart from cold water and did not go to hospital because we did not know what was happening exactly. Exact incidence happened couple of months later (stupidity) and i was %100 sure UV was the reason. The tube was a 250W 220v AC mercury discharge bulb with current limiting transformer I actually it is choke) I still got them at back home. PS; just had a routine eye check up from my local GP and I have no permanent damage until now and my vision is fine, not wearing any glass.
Uv rays can destroy organics and DNA and therefore can cause skin damage and skin cancer as well as lung problems! It’s not safe being exposed to that light! However it’s excellent for killing germs. Ps. Love the voiceover as well as post-soviet ambiance in the video! So authentic! 👍
The last bit was awesome, reminded me of that Outer Limits episode where a strange sound was being broadcast to Terra Prime and the effect of the sound was to re-write our genetic code so that we would evolve into beings that can handle large amounts UV light (Sol was going through a radical change that would have killed all organic life with increased UV). Very cool video.
I find the best way to break things like a lightbulb where you want to break the glass but keep the insides intact is to use a vice. You can slowly increase preassure instead of smashing through everything. Thanks a million for sharing your rad vids man.
Jinn Dima well dunno, ask the expert. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CpRMud6EFtE.html But it happened in hongkong so could be possible
True. I'm not sure I believe everything the media/government is saying about it. I am definately opposed to tyranny imposed during a global crisis. And I am convinced that the "delta variant" is ultimately smoke and mirrors for seizing power. (There is historical precedence for this)
i built one and it is an incredible ozone generator - it really really cranks out the ozone! The best way to break the shell is wrap in a piece of cloth wrapped loosely around it and then hold it vertically with the bottom up and break it slowly with a c-clamp - works perfectly every time
But seriously, and sincerely, since I've been watching you guys in your alpha videos, you all have been a great inspiration towards me in my own quest of Mad Science, especially High Voltage. Good luck, kreosan. May the good Gods, and Goddesses bless your channel with much love and support. My blessings too... Sincerely, MadDoctor Whitson
I hope you cleaned up those glass shards after hammering the bulb. Pieces of glass are dangerous to humans who might get hurt, and especially to animals which happen to lick them off their paws but ended up ingesting them / cut their skin. Please, be a caring and responsible person.
Yeah man! I am unable to fully breathe in, constantly feel like there's something wrong, especially with the heart, but its the lungs, no one seems to know whats up with me, but it is what it is, ozone gas is definitely not a joke.
@@Elmantukas Hope you are better now. Did you use a phosphor coated high pressure mercury with the outside white phosphor coating removed, like the guy in the video? Could be because the mercury lamps in your grandpa's days were with a different spectrum, and didn't produce as much ozone, and mimicked the suns natural frequencies more.
@@ThatThing1675 Thank you very much! Im not sure if i learned how to live with it or my lungs have healed somewhat, as I used to struggle to breathe, sounded like asthma where my lungs felt constrained, now its better but i still feel the effects. The light was a soviet street light, with the outside of it shattered off, literally the same as in the video, heck even made the same sound! Im sure all my problems started after being close to that light. It absolutely used to fill the room with ozone. Im just glad it didnt give me something much worse, as it was definitely very dangerous.
You're having to use the lamp wired in series as a limiting capacitance right? Due to a 220v receptacle . So could i run 120v to it directly and achieve the same results?
Some mercury lamps have a safety resistor that will burn when exposed to air.. make sure you use the correct ballast. The vodka cuts any finger oils that will overheat and crack the quartz glass inner tube.
Can you replace it with a resistor that elresist the air? Also when he say you can use a capacitor it means use it instead of the secondary bulb or add it to the circuit?
@@Anktualhillaryclinton2415 is referring to the self extinguishing mercury vapor. Metal halide lamps also are made in self extinguishing versions in very select sizes, most commonly 400 watts. Self extinguishing lamps contain a thin strip of carbon in series with the arc tube and is designed to burn out within 15 minutes of exposure to air. In years past there have been a number of recorded incidents in school gymnasiums in which mercury vapor and metal halide lamps were partially broken after being struck with balls or similar objects, and the lamp continues to light. When that happens, intense UV is emitted, comparable to arc welding. In one recorded incident 18 people were hospitalized with severe eye and skin burns from a broken mercury vapor lamp at a high school gymnasium.
This is a cool idea for sterilizing things. I do have one caution - if used someplace that has exposed pipes (bathroom, basement) you need to make sure they are not made of PEX. UV light is very bad for and will cause PEX pipes to fail. This is why PEX pipe is not permitted to be installed where it may be exposed to sunlight, or even directly under or adjacent to fluorescent, or other UV emitting lamps.
Mercury gas-discharge lamp without outer shell with prosphorous layer - it was classic UV light source for PCB etching. Nowadays, UV LEDs or UV linear tubes (used in nail studios) are popular.
Indeed, it emits UVC rays and produces tiny amount of poisonous ozone, but it's not nearly enough to sterilize everything. Anything in a shadow and not near enough can survive. That's why we use ethylene oxide, plasma of hydrogen peroxide or even gamma rays. UVC is fine for some applications like working surfaces but it needs to be very close up and strong. And yeah, it is not harmless to nonliving stuff. It readily destroys dyes and plastic polymers. You should do a fact check before making videos.
True, although the lamp would be quite effective at attracting insects to it as it produces quite a broad band of UV. The attraction of insects to the UVA and UVB would mean they would get close enough to be nuked by the high amounts of UVC the lamp emits.
@Tt Miller there are much more interesting things you could be doing with the radioactive elements from those smoke detectors, although effective bug repellent is much more practical.
Wow great lots of your videos in English, I usually try and watch the Ukrainian ones and use the subtitles, but google doesn't translate Ukrainian to English very well, so I love it that you now have a lot more in English, you guys are such an inspiration, that you can be so creative and have such fun despite what has happened in your area in the last few years.
I like how you never treat viewers like idiots by saying "DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME" If people are stupid enough to mess about with things they don't understand then they deserve to get hurt(but not killed!) You just explain how to do dangerous stuff (relatively) safely
We still don't fully understand life, but here we are, continuing to exist. No one deserves to get hurt. There are lots of kids out there who had no real parents and no real guidance when it comes to electronics. They are just out here, and if it doesn't occur to them that this is dangerous, it is no big deal to say so in the video. No harm in saying what the dangers are and how to avoid them. I wouldn't want to work with you on a job site. You seem like the kind of person to purposefully not tell someone about an unknown hazard just so that when they find out, you can call them an idiot. Well, it would have taken just a few minutes to let them know the danger, and you would have made a friend. Let people know when there are hazards, not everyone can think of everything all the time, not even you.
Tesla would only have been proud if he now tried to use that lamp to make a flying saucer. tesla was crazy. He made many goo inventions, but the vast majority was simply crap that even children understood couldn't work.
yeah, like his claim that he would soon be able to communicate with other planets almost instantaneously thanks to the radio signals that came from mars according to him, but keep thinking he was a true genius and didnt had mental issues and keep walking with the path of blind faith, the very thing real science despises.
Reno Simpson - And of course there are also the people that believe the claims of every charlatan and mad man. Madness is not the same as thinking "outside the box". better learn about tesla, read up on what he did. It is really itneresting to see how he acts like an innocent kid - trying out everything but refusing to accept reality when it doesn't go his way.
In other words, a mercury vapor lamp without it's protective borosilicate glass bulb that blocks most of the UV rays. Beautiful light, too bad it's so harmful. Greetings from USA.
Close.. the outer envelope is usually the cheaper common soda lime glass. The inner is quartz glass. Borosilicate is expensive and unnecessary overkill.
Glass bulbs can be stronger than you think. I once saw one fall from the top of a step ladder down onto some stepping stones. About 6 foot drop. Wouldn't you know, the damn thing didn't break, it BOUNCED!!! O_o
Can you explain the chock coil or the zero connection a little more in detail. and if this will work with amrican power outlet? Please excuse my ignorance
