Check your paycheck for a pink slip this Friday. Corfitz: You may have a bulb that is acid etched on the inside. If that is the case you should find a different brand of bulb. Jeremy: Thats a good idea. Use a toggle to hold the bulb up. Nice one.
If you used nylon line the water would have little effect on it. Thank you so much for this. I was looking for a way to poke a hole in a bulb, but found this to be so much cooler. I needed to make a project for my intermedia class, and this was the first thing that came to mind. Another trick for cleaning out the bulb is to pour some table salt into it and shake it vigorously. Works great! You could try the coloured bulbs aswell.
There are some cool tutorials out there on making aquariums for ghost shrimp out of hollowed out bulbs. Bomaryl: No need to shout and no need to make comments with rude email addresses. I can see IP addresses in the posts. Am inspired to make something with a burnt out lightbulb. However, i only have that other kind…you know the ones that have those little metal bits sticking out the sides…is the removal of the inside bit the same?
I usually just cut the metal part near the top with a sharp knife. This can be done in minutes easily. Does anyone know if you can open a bulb without disturbing the element, and put it back together? The incandescent bulb stuff is great. But one or two later commenters are suggesting large non-incandescent types from sports stadiums — somebody mentioned sodium types — sodium and mercury vapor types will contain toxic substances as in their names , and should not be used.
You boil water inside of it for a little, so the steam pushes out most of the regular air, then quickly throw it into a cool bucket of water and have it implode? Just wanted to let you all know, Kaolin, the white powder in regular bulbs, is rather safe.
It might not be the coolest thing to inhale, just like anything else out there, but swallowing it is as safe as eating from unglazed clay plates. Spiffy tutorial by the way! Not sure how to get the power converter and regulator into the bulb. Any ideas? Buy the way I have this neat looking small globe CFL that seems pretty tough with a heavy piece of material around the base, I guess to protect the ballast.
Anyone know how I can remove the inner contents or disassemble to convert into an LED light. I am rediscent to take this bulb apart as it has mercury inside. You can extract the LED set up from the cheap lighters that have them. The whole battery rig is narrow enough to be inserted into even the thinner screw in bulbs. If you need a little extra width take a pair of pliars to the metal, gently squeezing will crack the glass there so you can scrape it out. Thanks for this interesting article.
Great tutorial, thanks. Thanks very much for the tutorial. Your instructions and the subsequent ideas were fabulous, and the occasional crude remark from individuals who perceive themselves as more important and evolved than the rest of us, but in reality, are simply people who troll the internet, offering nothing but offensive, and frankly, lame commentary, was handled with humor and integrity.
My plans for the lightbulbs will include an attempt at a fresh herb garden, and using some smaller thinking appliance bulb size bulbs to make a spice rack. I think the rack itself could be up-cycled from coat hangers or other wires and assembled in a similar manner to a wine bottle rack. Skip to content When I was growing up I had a keen interest in the sciences. Step 1 You will need some common tools, a screwdriver regular and snips or needle nose pliers.
Step 2 First, grip the little solder point and give it a good twist. Step 3 Once the contact has been pulled out, carefully crack the glass insulator. Step 4 After the insulator has been removed you can see the inside supports of the filament and the fill hole. Step 5 Use the screwdriver to break the fill tube. Step 6 The fill tube could be saved for a later project if you wish. Step 7 You can now shake the filament assembly out of the tube. Step 8 The bulb needs a good cleaning. Step 9 Mind the sharp bits of glass in the socket when doing this.
Step 10 There you are, an empty light bulb ready for a new lease on life. May 6, Another useful that can be made with a used light bulb more. Similarly, the thinness of the bulb glass makes it very safe to boil water.
Nice, though. Wow, I just did this to two burned out bulbs…how simple! I think what you have done is very creative. I have never thought that this is possible. Way cool! Time to go destroy all the lightbulbs in my house… muahahahaha! I believe the powder inside the bulb is extremely carcinogenic. He said all he needed was a Pen Lightbulb Lighter and he has a pipe.
Smart addicts eh? I have done this MANY times, but for less then acceptable reasons! While you have standard tap water in the bulb the temperature will not go over degrees C Now if you superheat the water, turn it into gas and then continue to heat your answer is correct.
Remove it, and fit it into the bottom of the bulb, the black thing should point out. Great, now I have a way to look at the crap in my water. Best of luck, ChrisPZA. Nevermind I figured it out. Prehaps, but I have fun with it. Steel wool takes the writing right off. Pingback: iDiy. Pingback: Think Different, Act Evil! Pingback: Glowy Lamp Ideas. John, thanks for the tutorial….

Looking for other neat light bulbs? If I'm not mistaken helium, being a noble gas is not flammable, and should do the trick, but I could be wrong. So, I see a lot of repeated comments, but couldn't find an answer to this question which was asked before. What if I want to plug it into my wall outlet? Assuming: a good gasket, using a bucket filled with inert gas so all the parts are in an inert bath as mentioned above, and potentially encasing the entire outside of the top in a slab of epoxy to help prevent leakage,.
Magnificent, I'll certainly be having a go at this one. I love making things with a historic inspiration. Some may consider it cheating but if you want to use tungsten to make your bulb just take the filament out of a store bought light bulb. If you want to try it old school Edison burned strips of bamboo to make his carbon filaments. I think a plumber's torch and some bamboo skewers split into strips would work fine.
You would have to experiment to try bamboo. You could try using something called kanthal wire as the filiment. I know I've built coils that have burnt white-hot in open air. Introduction: Homemade Lightbulb. By Mr. Fishers3 Follow. More by the author:. Drill 4 holes in the lid arranged with equal spacing as in the photo. Cut two lengths of wire approximately 10" long. Clamp the wire in the vise grips with about 1. Hold the length of piano wire against the vise grips such that it is perpendicular to the wire.
Use the needle-nose pliers to twist the wire around the piano wire. Repeat for the second hanger. Take a piece of pencil lead and place it in the coil. It will be quite loose. Cut any extra length off the end of the coil. Repeat for the second wire.
Cut a 1" length of heat-shrink tubing. Mix a small amount of JB Weld and apply to the outside of the heat-shrink tubing. Mix a small amount of JB Weld and apply to the underside of the screw head.
Push the screw through the hole in the lid with the head facing down inside the jar. Tighten the nut on the opposite side of the lid. Again be sure the epoxy fills any gap as this needs to be airtight. Repeat for both vent-screws and hanger-screws. Let the epoxy fully harden for at least a few hours.
Place a new, fresh piece of lead in the hangers being careful not to handle it too much. Tightly screw the lid onto the jar. Place your assembled jar in the oven at degrees. It will only need a few minutes to heat up. While your jar is heating, apply a small amount of silicone to the inside of each acorn nut. This step should be completed quickly so it may be worthwhile to practice. Remove the jar from the oven and place on the table.
While continuing to blow CO2 into the jar, screw an acorn nut onto the open vent. Remove the air nozzle from the vent and quickly screw an acorn nut onto it. Tighten both acorn nuts to ensure a good seal. Connect your bulb to a voltage source. The bulb is now completed! If you are running it from batteries be vigilant that you do not overheat your batteries.
