high energy helical xenon lamp

Показать описание

Test run of a high energy flash lamp that was made in the 1970s #shorts

Helical lamps like this are obsolete for even flashlamp pumped lasers, so they are rarely made any more and are thus very difficult to find. Linear flashlamps are almost always a better option in driving solid state lasers. Not only are linear lamps more efficient for pumping laser media, they also have significantly lower inductance than a helical lamp. That being said, it is hard to top the beauty of these old helical lamps.

For anyone who hasn't seen the ruby laser video yet: The thing you saw explode wasn't actually a target, this laser is so stupidly powerful that it annihilated the lense even though it absorbs almost no energy from the laser that went through it.

When I didn’t get a “Pretty cool, right?” at the end, a tear fell

HE DIDNT SAY "PRETTY COOL, RIGHT?"

WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE REAL STYROPYRO

That *thunk* when it gets going is so satisfying

That boom is truly terrifying. I want it.

This guy has the energy of a obliviously manic mad genius scientist and I mean that in the best way possible. I love it

My first reaction to the ruby lazer was what the fuck

Goddamn that was a huge bang!

The spiral lighting up is the most satisfying thing I have ever seen.

When you said check this out the sirens in my city started blaring 😂

Just wanted to say you are one of my favorite channels on YouTube. Nothing but science fun and lasers. Lots of fire and chemicals too. I'm mostly a mechanic for cars and motorcycles and stuff because I'm from Maryland but science always interested me.
