Burning bulb…again.

iPod iPod version

    Today we have another shot of a light bulb burning itself out and the smoke exiting from a small hole.

    Materials
    60watt Black light bulb.

    Procedure
    Create a hole in the bulb. I used a dremel tool to take care of that.

    Result
    The filament heats up and then proceeds to produce a thick (pleasant looking) smoke before burning out.

    Observations
    I like this one because you get to see the smoke contained by a barrier, while at the same time you get to see a limited amount escape and curl around the barrier. The smoke is also rather pretty in and of itself.

    Additional notes
    If it looks like I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel for my clips, it would be because I am. I am currently in-between cameras so I’m searching through things I’ve not posted in the past because I had better clips to post. Hopefully this situation will change in the near future.
