@All

I will not allow this thread to degrade again. If you have nothing to say or can not post something of meaning, then simply go elsewhere.

I do not care who you are or how many post you have to any or all threads.

Help, replicate or stay away!

@DrStiffler  Thanks for putting up the recent videos - plenty of new ideas there for replication. Amazing progress and renewed interest on this thread. You have cetainly lifted the bar for the next party trick!

I've got some "out there" ideas to share but they would distract the thread. Better to wait till later. Replications are focus for now.

You can get carbon rods from standard D cell batteries.
Please note: Alkaline, Mercury, Nickel-Cadmium, Gel-cells and Lead-acid batteries do not use carbon. You will need to use the old fashion 1.5 V standard cell. Use plastic or rubber gloves to avoid chemical burns or allergies with battery chemicals. One way to get it open is to saw it with a hacksaw down the seam on the side and pry it open till one can use a pare of pliers one each side to separate the sides from the bottom and top.

@All,
No need to risk chemical burns from the batteries, while you wait on an order of carbon rods. The drafting supply store will have Graphite rods otherwise known as drafting pencil leads, the big ones,  HB-WWNBX that work just fine. The really neat thing about this experiment is the more tubes I lit up and the more intense the plasma in the tubes the further down the supply current dropped. Very interesting experiments today. I got in trouble until the little ones saw the light bulbs and were flipping out, now I'm Mr. Wizard. I gave Dr. Stiffler and Lattice333, and K4ZEP the credit just as they deserve, the kids are awestruck and so am I. I love this! The friggin current going down the more I light.......holy crap! Great work guys!

Best regards,

Jim

Loki, are they lighting at either end?  Obviously you don't have 3 bulbs with blown filaments.
