Another precious artifact from our electrical past - this time it's our Electrical Holiday past! Here I show off a beautiful hand made carbon filament bulb from 1910 that was made for holiday decorations instead of those old-fangled candles your square parents used to use. Enjoy!

I think your current draw calculation is flawed, checking the resistance of a filament cold will not give you accurate results. A typical 60W bulb operating at 250 volts will consume 0.24 amps and have a resistance of 1041Ω or thereabouts. When measured using a digital multimeter the resistance is just a few Ohms because the filament will be cold. but Nice Video, I own 4 of that kind of lamp Red Green Blue, and a clear one.
I like your TI-30 Calculator, my mom worked on those at Texas Instruments, and years later I worked at TI on the TI-84. I love incandescent bulbs & I still use them, I despise fluorescent & LED lighting, they give me headaches, ear ringing & eye pain from the high EMF radiation they emit. You are so cute Fran, let's have a romantic incandescent light dinner.
it's genial to have candles on fir in a wooden house, the inventor of this tradition have made it on purpose to let a whole nation homeless in middle of the winter, such a smart-ass to trick all christian world, maybe its a tradition to have fire and winter trees in order survive during few years winter but not together, matches are made from fir due to their burning qualities, even incandescent lights are dangerous if touches the tree with the glass, you need a short-circuit in that smoking tree and voila il Noel in front of your kids in orange suit, if you had mounted his cotton beard it's perfect.
I still have my TI-30 from high school electronics class.
My grandmother's Christmas tree had 50's string lights looked great but the heat they threw off was crazy. My little brother touched one, not a happy camper.
Merry Christmas……
Over here (UK) that might be described as "Fur coat and no knickers – Electric candles and no flickers"! – That's just great, I love it!
Any exit out of 2020 that you can walk away from, is a good exit. Sadly, there are way too many people who didn't get to walk away. (About 174'000 in the UK alone).
Thanks, Fran! So amazing to realize that Japan was kicking ass in the electronics industry way back in 1910. Also fascinating was your description of their ancient artisan / high-tech worker hybrid technique for attaching the filaments.
Confusing when you call christmas " the holidays" we have several holidays over the year in the UK.
A working, vintage, original, Christmas tree bulb….that is so excellent.
I suspect the reason they had women doing the assembly work is the same that women were hired to perform other fine craft work, like jewelry making. Men, with their (generally) larger hands and thicker fingers were incapable of the dexterity needed to perform such fine manual operations. They couldn't do it. Women could.
I remember my grandmother telling me about putting candles on the tree. I thought she was just telling me stories. Have you ever seen a fir tree on fire ? I couldn't imagine one in the parlor with candles, I would be terrified . At that age everything was electrified I just couldn't imagine a time when there was no electricity or automobiles. Progress, how strange.
Nah, the next thing wasn't plastic pie, it was plastic trees!
Filament looks like a little candle flame. Very pretty!
Ive always loved the bubble lights. I remember when we first got those back when I was a kid. Couldn’t get them for years, but they’re back now.
I got a string of eight of these evacuation tip carbon bulbs. Some still have their original paint, and one has a neat milk glass envelope. I was told they were made later in the century, around the 1930s or so, but they look exactly like that one. Anyway, they look really cool lit up, especially if you under-drive them to get that orange glow.
Reminds me of the women who used to paint the dials on the clocks with radium paint with devastating consequences.
OMG, Dylan going from acoustic to electric!? Say it ain't so Fran!
