In some places they may still use an acetylene generator a sort of tank thing that you put calcium carbide and water in and if it is working right it generates acetylene... if it is not working right it likely blows up :-) Probably the most exciting type of bike headlight! Not really exciting. The gas pressure controls water dripping onto the calcium carbide. It's a reliable control system and does NOT convert the lamp into a Molotov cocktail if shaken or thrown. Anyone here ever use a carbide lamp? (Astonishingly, I haven't.) Yes, me. A miners head lamp and on my bicycle. I posted some lumens and color temperature numbers about 3 weeks ago. I just wasted about 30 minutes looking for my miners lamp, but didn't find it. I'll post photos on the bicycle mount when they get tired of hiding. -- Jeff Liebermann PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
