Keywords: 24 Million Watt high speed flash through welding lens.jpg This photo shows an 85 joule flash discharged in 3 5 microseconds as seen by the camera through a shade 10 welding filter the kind so dark that you can barely see anything through it While moderately low in energy the flash produced is extremely intense from the highly concentrated electrical pulse equalling 24 million watts and has no problem penetrating the very dark filter Due to miscalculation for capacitance by omitting special circumstances which need to be taken into account at flashes below 10 microseconds<ref>http //optoelectronics perkinelmer com/content/RelatedLinks/CAT_flash pdf</ref> the current density is very high which produced the very bluish flash easily visible even lighting up storage bins and a chair across room through the green arc welding lens The very high current-density produced an arc temperature of approximately 17 000 Kelvin This centters the output of the arc at around 170 nm which is near the UV cut-off for the quartz-glass tubing <br/> References <references/> Transferred from http //en wikipedia org en wikipedia; transferred to Commons by User Liftarn using http //tools wikimedia de/~magnus/commonshelper php CommonsHelper <br/> Original text I created this work entirely by myself 2009-01-24 Zaereth talk 00 35 24 January 2009 UTC Original uploader was Zaereth at http //en wikipedia org en wikipedia Released into the public domain by the author en wikipedia Zaereth Original upload log page en wikipedia 24_Million_Watt_high_speed_flash_through_welding_lens jpg 2009-01-24 00 35 Zaereth 781×571× 30213 bytes <nowiki> This photo shows an 85 joule flash discharged in 3 5 microseconds as seen by the camera through a shade 10 welding filter the kind so dark that you can barely see anything through it While moderately low in energy the flas</nowiki> Flash photography Gas discharge lamps Xenon |
