- The incandescent light bulb is made from two separate factory lines that eventually merge. One prepares the glass bulb. The other make the electrical components in the light bulb.

I'm always impressed at the machines that make the invention, way more complex than the invention itself. Who designs these machines?
George designs them.
@@mightypurplelicious3209 Not much is know about George, it's said he's got close ties with to some rich guy on the NP and his initials are always somewhere to find on those objects or constructs nobody else will take claim for.
Mechanical Engineers. A lot of these machines are so unique that the companies hire engineers to design, manufacture, and maintain the equipment.
These type of machine are designed and usually build by engineers it can be a firm or a team that's hired by the comapny
Ghost George is getting upset!
Filmed in the former Sylvania light bulb plant in St. Marys, PA. This factory ran for about 100 years. RIP Oct. 2019 😢
I wanted to buy the factory😢
Why did it stop manufacturing?
@@JJs_playground no one uses incandescent bulbs anymore.
@@JJs_playground federal government passed laws making these types of bulb a crime to manufacture or sell
@@JJs_playground incandescents not being in favor for leds
This LIT up my day.
Ha !
Nuni- you seem very bright.
Interesting and informative but I wanted to see how the glass bulb was blown. This would be the first step and they omitted it.
I know that’s the one thing I came for
I thought they were made when you got an idea

That just a genius way of thinking tho haha 😂👌🏻 but please to meet you Army~ ❤️
Syeda Khatun... Not so funny
😂😂😂😂
Mass dosage I tried
The real fun is the glass foundry, it’s like Dante’s inferno. I spent 6months on a project in one. It was the most dangerous place I’ve ever been in. The had an onsite nurse. The accident book filled a page a day. They also had a hotline to the local hospital, no dialing just pick up the handset.
I love the Incandescent light bulb when used as reading light. For me it's the most eye friendly.
It also is the healthiest light
I just came to see how they pump the air out of the bulb.
Same, never thought they'd just replace it with a heavier gas.
I used to repair these machines when I worked at Philips Lighting.
I ran that junk,6yrs in Warren,Pa.,6 yrs in Little Rock,Ar.Both plants shutdown.

Now I can say bulbs are lit.
Very illuminating.
When insider doesn't have a clue on what to post the fall back on good ol' how it's made
That was an illuminating video.
*BADUMTSSSSS*
WOW !!! That was very interesting! My favorite light bulb is the incandescent. "It was fantastic to watch them get made".
I don’t like incandescents. LEDs are easier to make too.
@@homeguestunton hmm did you know led can have arsenic in then?
@@letsbegaming5411 I still use LEDs. Do you think I’d downgrade my lights to incandescent. Guess what fluorescents and induction and HID have mercury.
@@thecampaigner2167 Although the materials used aren't a health hazard, incandescent bulbs use significantly more power than LED bulbs, since they rely on heat to generate light. This is probably the main reason they were banned, since energy production is a burden on the environment, and most of the time the heat was an annoying byproduct rather than being used for anything (except in edge cases like easy bake ovens). Also, the increased risk of fire is in theory a hazard, although it relies on the user being negligent and putting the bulb right next to something flammable.
@@alkali836I don't know why I said that. I think I was commenting on the wrong video.
Mathematics makes the world wonderful..
All kind of this manufacturing behind calculation
That was enlightening.
Wait! This is from how it's made
...and you only realised now.......... 🤦♂️
Well done video! Thank you. Interesting thathey flash the bulb.
Moisture in the bulb? Argon to minimize filament evaporation if a vacuum?
This guys sounds like the guy in the fitness gram
Green Bean The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.
randomz pandaz EEEVVVILLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
more impressive than bulbs are machines making them
LOOK HOW PRECISE IS THAT WORK
Perfect example of planned obsolescence.
But you have to take into consideration that after 1000 hours, the light loses it efficiency and begins to require more energy for less light
I just like watching interesting vids these are awesome
Wow awesome!! I love your vids
That's amazing
I absolutly adore the see this type of vídeo.
Very interesting
i love watching these before bed
wow, nice
That was satisfying for some reason lol
Cool!!
thanks Thomas..
Hopefully they could have slowed the speed a little bit. Not the same soothing how its made speed :)
It amazes me that someone built that machine
Amazing
That was interesting or you could say that was LIT 🌚✨
Megan • mla
Megan • your profile picture makes me happy
*LIT* that was pretty decent
yall armys are everywhere--- and i freaking love it lmao
Thank you very mach
Wow... Daebak~
Im disappointed ..they didnt show how to round the bulbs
Intresting
Portlandia's handcrafted lightbulbs made me curious on how they are actually made lol
🙄I love 💘the machine 💡flash testing🤙 at 4:21 🤔I would enjoy this work 👍
I'd rather work for a company that makes Handmade lightbulbs much like Edison would have done.
They didn't show how the BULB part was made. :(
Light bulbs are amazing 💦
so what makes the light bulb machines and what makes those machines and what makes those machines?
Came here to see how they get the round shape and of course thats the part thats skipped LOL still very cool to watch.
Thanks
What's the song in the beginning called? It's amazing :)
George Georgia - Silver Sunrays
Interesting
What about the purple glass on the top?
I always wondered how... Lightbulbs were made.
Hard machines handling bulb softly
Now I know...
And we put one in our heads in case we have an idea and we are electirc powerred so it will work
You cut off the end of the video why give us the las 10sec
The amount of times ive watched these kind of videos as a kid😂😂
Nice
Seen a meme about the guy who first discovered how to acid etch the inside of a light bulb and now I’m going down the rabbit hole of how they are made.
At 2:54, is it just me or does the machine look very angry and just wants to break something but knows it'll get fired if it does so it just sets the bulb down easy only to go through the whole thought process again?
I ran those damn machines for over 12 yrs,they're angry on a good day,you ought to see them when they get pissed off!
I like this video and the song
Are incandescent bulbs even available anymore?
Check Dollar Tree.
Are tough to find, but still around(:
HOW DO PEOPLE EVEN BUILD THESE THINGS
Bryant Perez when u get s idea
Light
Cool...
Woah
Now light bulbs are done, same as vacuum tubes, x-ray films, dial telephones, TV picture tubes. If cars could be printed they would do that.
CRT tv's are still used and are making a slow comeback due to retro gaming
Wow
WOW
How are different wattages of bulb made.
Now, I know. I've often wondered.
Any contact for this company
Neat..
Light Bulb : STOP TORCHERING ME
Official Pixelated Private Company L
thats what i call cool :o
I have looked everywhere about how the actual body of the bulb is made! can't find this anywhere! Weird!!
INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULBS NEVER BURN OUT THEY CAN LAST 100 YEARS. THE BULB MANUFACTURER'S PUT A HIGH VOLTAGE SHOCK TO THE FILAMENT TO WEAKEN IT. SO IT LASTS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF HOURS.
Good to know, what else do you know
@@michaelrobb9708 YEARS BACK I WAS TOLD THESE LIGHT BULB MANUFACTURERS WOULD PAY THE GOVERNMENT FINES. BECAUSE THEY CHARGED OVER A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE THAN IT COST TO MANUFACTURE THE BULB AT THE TIME IT WAS PROBABLY A PENNY PER BUILD. IT WAS MUCH PROFITABLE TO PAY THE FINE THEN TO LOWER THE PRICE OF A BULB.
I had many incandescents burn out even the high quality ones like PHILIPS and GE and SYLVANIA.
@@homeguestunton AT TIMES A BULB HERE AND THERE MAY SLIP THROUGH AND NOT GET SHOCKED. THOSE ARE THE BULBS THAT NEVER BURN OUT AND THEY COULD LAST FOR A HUNDRED YEARS. THE ONLY WAY THEY'LL STOP WORKING AS IF YOU BREAK THE GLASS.
That sounds like bs to me.
how they create vacuum in the lightbulb?
What is the purpose of the silicon powder stuff?
low level otaku to diffuse the light, so it’s not as intense. Like a light umbrella with a screen so the light’s not so harsh
What’s the name of the music in the beginning?
Michael Winnicki get Shazam m8
The end of an era

Reading the book about Thomas Eddison the inventor
aj meri 20 saal ki wish puri ho gayi, me janna chahti thi k bulb kese bante he ,unme gas kese bhari jati he...thank you
Thousands of moving parts
I do not understand how the glass bulb is attached to the metal base? I see some kind of "mud" between the two different materials. I did not see how the argon gas filled inside either.
This manufacture needs more praise for creating incandescent bulbs.
there now closed down thank to cry baby government
Thomas Edison would be so proud!
You just took a episode of How it’s made?
woah
Memu
Intro song?
Lit 🔥
How is a 100 watt light bulb made differently than a 50 watt light bulb which is it twice as bright and uses up more electricity
Different filament,made them for 12 yrs,I figure I made about 55 million bulbs,thats figuring in fubar days
@@bigbadhag thank you for your service. You are a true hero.
@@bigbadhag What was different about the filament? Is it just a thicker gauge of tungsten coil? A different combination of materials? I always find it fascinating that there is so much knowledge about the things omnipresent in everyones' lives that are invisible to most of us. In this case, this bit of invisible knowledge makes things literally visible. It's poetic.
@@steventhehistorian Yes,basically a thicker gadge wire ,or coil,making more resistance and heat and light
Thicker wire would make less resistance
How colour ful bulbs made
so basically ALOT OF FIRE, Wow
_Alot_ is a town in India. _A lot_ is more than one of something. Get your head out of turtles asses.
Yep a lot of fire.
He was talking about the machine, not your weird claims of fire hazards@@homeguestunton
this guy is the fitness gram :O
Not as amazing as potato chips but pretty neat ✨✨✨✨🌟💞🌸🌼💖💗💁
and this HOLE design was inside someone's head WOW
The cleaver bit is how the life span is built into it
I always thought the base, the screw part, was brass.
The absolute definition of "planned obsolescence".
But you have to take into consideration that after 1000 hours, the light loses it efficiency and begins to require more energy for less light
Story time:
I ate glass once.
*WASTED*
They didn't show how all the bulbs actually became bulb shaped
