Incandescent Lamp Filament in Vacuum Chamber

  • I put a tungsten filament from an incandescent light bulb in a vacuum chamber and turn it on. As soon as I let the air into the chamber the tungsten is oxidized (WO3) and broken.

    Well, that's why the filament is placed in a vacuum, at least in some incandescent lamps. But I suspect that the lamp shown here is partially filled with argon gas, which prevents much of the evaporation of the tungsten filament that we'd have if there was only a vacuum. This is important because the evaporated tungsten forms a black deposit on the inner surface of the glass bulb. We use argon for the job because its molecules are light and non-reactive and thus do not tend to cool the filament as convection currents circulate them through the bulb. (Nitrogen works too, for some applications, and many small lamps use a vacuum. The reasons are complex.)
    Once air is introduced into the lamp the oxygen causes the filament to oxidize very rapidly, which causes it to burn up. Your toaster, however, runs at a far cooler temperature and can thus operate without much oxidation for many years.

    Great experiment, but if you check it with different vacuum value does it make difference in amper while you using the same source of voltage and check the light power of the the lamp . Thanks

    Can you try a naked filament underwater?
    12v car bulb has beefy contacts.
    Then try if you can achieve the leidenfrost effect with the filament submerged

    would have been interesting to see the vacuum released very slowly and how long the filament would have lasted in a gentle environment...

    is it theoretically possible to 'fix' lightbulbs that are designed with obsolescence? I assume they make light burn out by not adding enough argon gas and producing a weaker vacuum. In theory an incandescent lightbulb should be able to go forever, right?

  • @radinelaj3932

    1- you should see the bulb ( the broken bulb) into the normal environment,and then see it in the vacuum,to make clear the difference. 2- second ,the vacuum chamber was not totally vacuum, because when the light was on the filament flow some steam ( little,steam) ,so you should activate the vacuum pump simultaneously, to see the real vacuum. Do you try with electric heater ? What will happen ?

    How long does your filament last if you don't open the vent valve? What vacuum pressure are you operating at? In my experiment I pumped down to 35 milliTorr and my bulb lasts 60 seconds before burning out. I expected it should last hundreds of hours. I also get a blue residue all over, as seen in your video. At atmospheric pressure the filament lasts < 2 sec and gives a white residue localized to a very small area.

    • @markkinsler4333

      His mechanical vacuum pump can't provide an adequate vacuum for long filament life. That's why incandescent lamps could not be produced prior to the invention of better vacuum. pumps. Residues are probably condensed metal-oxide vapors.

      It's not about the vacuum. Incandescent bulbs do not necessarily need a vacuum to operate. Instead they use an inert gas, like argon, which doesn't react with the tungsten filament, even when it is heated. The slight partial vacuum they have is so that the heat can be dispersed efficiently, and keep the bulb's glass from overheating. The reason it your fillaments are failing, is due to the tungsten's reaction with the small amount of oxygen left in the chamber. If you replaced the gas with an inert gas, it would operate normally.

    QUESTION: what happens if you put the complete bulb in a vacuum chamber , will the glass envelope shatter ? like wise what about a flourscent tube

    How does oxidization or rusting happen in a vacuum chamber or does it?

    • @markkinsler4333
      @markkinsler4333 2 года назад +1

      There is no oxidation if oxygen is not present.

    Does the actual lit up Lamp Filament have electricity in it? can it shock you if you touch it?

      Yes and yes. It will also deliver a shock after it has burned up.

    I read the filament reaches 5000 fahrenheit
    I'd like to know if you sealed a piece of copper to the jar one part touching rhe filament and another exposesd and touched the filament if the exposed part would be 5000 fahrenheit

    • @markkinsler4333
      @markkinsler4333 2 года назад

      Copper would melt and then vaporize at that temperature. That's why we use either tungsten or carbon for filaments.

      At high temperature the tungsten of the filament of the lamp reacts with oxygen in the air and oxidizes so it is destroyed. Light bulbs must be in a vaccum or with an inert gas like argon.
