Ultracaps tested for excess energy

[Mk1]

Question ?

What can you make from 2 different type of metal in electrolyte?

Hum , that's is weird ! i swear its a battery , but no its a cap.

Bill makes a few definitive statements declaring that supercapacitors are different but when he is asked to back up his statements he has absolutely nothing to offer.  All in a day's play.

You can't be serious here.  I have attempted to point out all of the differences to you so many times, my fingers have blisters from typing so much.  You "claim" I have nothing to offer only because what I have told you, and been telling you does not agree with your 1918 Electronics 101 Beginner's Handbook that you must sleep with under your pillow.

Many folks here have offered you good, solid responses to your continued incorrect posits about ultracaps but you choose to ignore them.  Now you even dare to call into question Gadget's many years of electronics experience.  You claim you do not believe it.  This fits your pattern exactly.  His life experience with electronics allows some great devices that, since you never built any and don't know about, you have to deny that he even has this experience.  The same with the caps.  All of the information presented here, and elsewhere, about how these b-caps ARE different does not fit what you believe to be true so, you have to deny that we have even tried to explain it to you.

I would sure hate to have to be you man.

Please SHUT UP about things you have obviously demonstrated that you know nothing about.  You keep saying the same things over and over and you are incorrect.

I don't know how to say it any clearer than that.

@ Jadaro2600,

What kind of device is this tube? ...

I'm wondering if it is safe to use such tubes, I'm aware that there may be consequences for using vacuum tubes, as such things are used in produce radiation(?).

Yes, it is a Mercury Vapor Lamp, this is how I received it, thrown away in the dump.
I assume its exhausted the ability to make light, but it sure puts on a display that is very interresting indeed.

Does anyone know what type of UV shielding one can use for the UV radiation, but still be able to observe the striation patterns?

Here is what it actually looks like when it is not turned on.

Jim:

It depends.  Glass and some plastics shield long wave UV but it is the short wave UV that does the damage.  (I hope I don't have this backwards...I don't think so)  I don't know of anything that will shield the short waves and still allow visual monitoring except maybe by filming with a video camera that has "night vision" and playing it back thereby preserving your eyes.

As an aside, in the PI business we use those hand held spot lights of like 2 million candlepower (Q-beam, etc) to which we add an IR filter.  Then we can shoot on night scope and paint the area we want to video up to about 600 feet away. (It shows up like shooting in broad day light)
I know UV and IR are different but, for some reason, I can also see UV on my camera on this setting as well.
