Wow, 100,000 watts @ 115 VAC, you could do the math easy enough. But, one has to wonder what the actuall application was. Being a major defence contractor for electrical components, was there a military application in mind for this devices creation. Maybe it was made to quick dry cement, for bunkers and tunnels. Or, maybe it was just another in the long line of BFC (Brute Force Cybernetics) project, from the company that creats a need then fills it. Who knows?

I was watching a program on tv about modern lighthouses and they only use a few small bulbs, like only something about 4cm tall. I am not sure of the technology they use, I expected it to be HUGE!
Even the old ones were not as chunky as the bulb featured in this thread... |

| I think this bulb will be illegal soon. Isn't that something :( . OK who will except the challenge of doeing this in florescent? You know, we must use the much safer mercury vapor. |

| If that has the efficience of your standard lightglobe then 90% of the power going into this beast will be given off as heat. That thing runs at 870Amps! But only 115V. You could not run that thing from your wall socket. Why would you anyway? |

I would think so.
Wassup, you have an amazing gift of over stating the obvious. Let me see, I'll just change the circuit breaker. Yeah right. And burn up all the neighbors wiring and set my house on fire...lol. |
