They played a song in this concert that they didn't put on any of their records and I sent them a letter saying, "Hey how come you never recorded that song, The Sound is a Mass of Incandescent Gas?" And I sent it to them and they actually emailed not emailed me they actually mailed me back a handwritten letter and I was like, "Wow that's really cool!"And to have that kind of access much more convenient for me like I can answer people's questions all day long and it kills time for me and it lets people know what's up with
So net zero energy has gotten the financial thumbs up. The incandescent light bulb, we won't talk about it anymore, because it's infinitely more expensive than the other two options.
person's perspective well I put the COO of the company on a bike in front of all of senior management the bike powered for incandescent he's an ex-marine thought it was a tough guy pedaling away sweating I let him go for a while then I flick a switch and their compact fluorescents it's like he's peddling downhill it's obvious you see it I
effective we would heat the room but that's so clumsy and messy but that's what the easy bake oven is and that's what most incandescent lights are this is a 400 watt space heater that happens to give off heat here's the business proposition to you the hotel manager forget the rooms I under stand your concerns I'm going to take out those bulbs I'm going to replace
There's um, there's something happening interesting on the Internet, I think. There's this idea of um, Dunbar's number. Maybe some of you guys have heard of this. Um, I first came have some incandescent light indoors which is like very yellow, but the outside is bluish because of the sky. So if I just leave the image like this it will have a very pronounced
light bulb in there because why are we lighting the food uh we should be heating it and the reason there's a light bulb in there is that the incandescent bulb is one of the most spectacular inefficient things ever created the way it works is it gets so hot that it glows oh and then it gives off light it's almost as afterthought it's as if we said you know this room is
as with all my stories there's a next story which is that Walmart didn't just sell the bulbs they helped drive the easy bake oven bulb the incandescent bulb out of business in Australia it's banned by 2012 in California I think it's 2010 in Ireland it's going on you're driving the thing out of business so the point is that's a huge lever and
so he was clearly fine. He drove a used '83 Toyota Supra in incandescent teal with a pink sine wave painted along both sides. "Sorry about the paint job," he said as we got in.
it it basically Works we're fine anyway and he wanted to move on to Neon and everyone was like no we just have like incandescent like kind of working hang out here for a minute uh neon is next decade um and why he wanted to move on to Wireless telephones the telephone had
you'll never hear this in the green community you'll never hear it from the consulting community I failed I gave up we never succeeded and those rooms are still incandescent bulbs wow that's harsh you know why because in the sustainability movement changing your light bulbs is sustainability 101 it's
You've basically got about six inches across that lobe of lava, to give you an idea of the scale. And as you can see, it's incandescent . That reddish color is incandescence from the lava's heat, which at this point is about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, so four times hotter than the hottest broil setting
kind of looks at the territory and he says um I think we're about two years away I think the general technology that we're at is about 2 years from a functional working indoor uh incandescent light bulb and takes his hund something guys sticks them in this lab in menow Park New Jersey and B and and he says to them you know I think
The other problems with vacuum tubes is they were fairly large as you can see. This one was just a little bit smaller than an old style incandescent light bulb. They used great amounts of power.
flick a switch and their compact fluorescents it's like he's peddling downhill it's obvious you see it I brought a watt meter in and I showed how slow it turned with fluorescence versus incandescent still don't believe it I want to see the bills go down your bills if you retrofitted this room your bills might or might not go down because you
plant from there we generate electricity the currency then goes into an end use device of a lamp which our goal is the energy service of illumination most lighting in the United States today is still incandescent lighting when you do the math on the efficiency of the energy content of that coal and bring it through to the delivery of illumination
Can we go back away from the light bulb to the paraffin candle to light our way at night ? And he figured out that the paraffin candle uses 10 times the amount of CO2 of an incandescent light bulb per lumen. So we're not going back to that, either.
And this gas is very, very hot and you can see it because it cools down by admitting x-rays. It's just a hot version of things, it's hotter than your typical incandescent lamp and so the energy admitted by the atoms in it tends to be in the x-ray part of the spectrum. We can make a map with that x-ray light and kind of see the atmosphere surrounding all of these galaxies at once.
1968, and metaphorically, you walked outside at midnight and looked up at the sky and saw a shooting star across the heavens, and you saw a shooting star of such incandescent brightness, a brightness that had never been seen before by any astronomer or by you, that shooting star was Martin Luther King Jr.
that we are wasting about fifty percent of the energy associated with lighting because of inefficient design and poor maintenance and inappropriate use. Huge payback in this area and one of the, I pulled this up too since I was thinking about the incandescent light bulbs which are often joked by engineers as being little heat engines that emit a little bit of light. Because they emit so much heat that someone invented a product around them back in the seventies, an Easy Bake Oven. But the sort of newer forms of
This was his lens. To test it, Ruska first boiled electrons off a tungsten filament, the same kind of filament you'd find in an incandescent light bulb. He accelerated these free electrons through a positively charged anode down to his electromagnetic lens.
On the other hand, some minerals have special properties that can help reveal their identity. Like, alexandrite shines emerald green in the sun, but glows ruby red under incandescent light. Sulfur can smell like a burning match when heated up or take on a rotten egg stank from reactions with moisture.
And Hiroshi Sugimoto's "Lightning Fields" project deliberately harks back to earlier technological experimentation, like Etienne Leopold The end results look a bit like streaks of lightning branching off, root-like, from an incandescent spinal core.
It wasn't very long ago, people were talking about $50 LEDs to replace a 60-watt incandescent .
the expressions of it are like the genre, the genius level is inevitable, but the speciation is not. So the light bulb, incandescent light bulb, was inevitable, but the actual, whether
And as you can see, it's incandescent . That reddish color is incandescence from the lava's heat, which at this point is about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, so four times hotter than the hottest broil setting on most ovens. And it is incredible to be that close to something this powerful and this raw, and that's
