30kW and 4kW Xenon Lamps Get Tested on a DC Welder

I pee-pee is fizzing.

Love you programs but, what a waste. Youtube isn't worth the sacrifice of that lovely lamp. Thanks for the great shows.

kinda looks like the big one was built to be liquid cooled, the red plastic screw caps look like in/out ports on both ends of the light.

ooo

I'd wager xenon short arcs are the most intense brightness next to a thermonuclear blast on planet earth. Amazingly expensive too. Shame because the second lamp was water cooled, note the inlet/outlets on each side which would need to be separate and deionized. Oh well. In 50 years people will be screaming with zero access to them.

That thing can turn a night into a day, and a day into a night (7:02)

That light was Brighter than my future and possibly a Nuke Flash.

I'm taking a screenshot at the peak of this spectacular light because my phone doesn't have a flash. Now I've got battery draining light if I need it thanks

love the vid, you my friend are a class act .well done fella.

This one still kicks out as much light as a 50w bulb when it gets turned off.. hahaha

I nearly spit out or spill my coffee every time I hear "crank it up stupid", it never gets old.

At the end of each sentence, his voice sends chills down my back XD

Wtf?

I see that you can buy 70kW versions of this lamp.

Oh the xenon pressure, all xenon arc lamps must have 120 psi operating pressure. So depending on the volume, the cold pressure varies depending on lamp design. This lamp has a cold pressure of 60 psi.

The 30 kW bulb you have is a hanovia made in the 1970s. It needs water cooling. 4.5 u.s. Gallons per minute. For the anode. Cathode not as much. Surprised to see that it still has xenon. Rubber o ring seals at the ends usually leaked.

for what are those lamps used for?

I'll send you a 70kW, but only if you promise to run the water cooling the way your told to, but hey it's only a $1,200 bulb

its negative to positive not vise versa, electrons are negatively charged

But the question is, how many lumens would it be though
