Incandescent Bulb Automated Production Line Videos for Engineers
What
you are seeing is the automated production of contraband that could result in heavy fines and possible
imprisonment if sold here in the United States after January 1, 2012. It's not a meth lab or an unauthorized
replica of the iPhone 4. What is it, then? Website visitor Hugh P. sent me a link to this video showing the
production line for
Duro-Test's (nope,
I've never heard of 'em either) 100-W, 120-V incandescent light bulbs. The ingenuity needed to conceive of
and implement the machinery and controllers for as relatively simple a product as a light bulb is utterly
impressive. Note how robust everything is and that most of it is metal, something maybe not expected for machinery
that handles delicate glass shells and forms ultrafine filament wires. This is the kind of skill that built the
modern world and is the result of lots of trial and error, success and failure. Capitalism motivated the business
owners, engineers, managers, production workers, and ultimately the salesmen to believe the effort would be worth
it. They busted their posteriors. OWS rats thinks all of this result of other people's work should be made
available for free to them, most of whom have never produced anything but the need for toilet paper.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
