High-powered bulb

High-powered bulb. Researcher holding a high- powered arc lamp bulb at sunset. At full brightness this bulb generates light using thous- ands of watts of power. It will light up sports stadiums for evening games. Arc lamps use the bright light emitted by an electric arc (blue), a stream of electrons travelling between two electrodes. The central cylinder through which the arc is flowing contains halogen gas. This cylinder is made of quartz, a more resistant material than the surrounding glass oval. This researcher is from Siemens Osram Sylvania Laboratory in Beverly, Massachusetts, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a researcher from Siemens Osram Sylvania Laboratory in Beverly, Massachusetts holds a high-powered arc lamp bulb against the backdrop of a stunning sunset. This bulb, when at its full brightness, generates an awe-inspiring amount of light using thousands of watts of power. Its purpose? To illuminate sports stadiums during evening games. Arc lamps like this one utilize the intense light emitted by an electric arc - a mesmerizing blue stream of electrons traveling between two electrodes. Encased within the central cylinder through which the arc flows is halogen gas, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Crafted from quartz, an incredibly resilient material compared to its surrounding glass oval, this cylinder safeguards the delicate inner workings. The dedicated scientist featured here epitomizes American ingenuity and expertise in electricity and technology. With his profound understanding of physics and electrical engineering principles, he plays a crucial role in advancing energy solutions for various industries. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Science Photo Library at just the right moment with the setting sun casting its golden hues across the scene, we are reminded not only of mankind's incredible ability to harness electrical power but also our unwavering commitment to innovation and progress.
