Species Alces_Alces now has 2 'H3PO3 \ HI E reductions uder his antlers....
Both employed a, 60 watt, 'Black Light Party Bulb' to supply the required heat for the reaction.
Two things were determined:
1.
- a 60 watt bulb, ( when heating a 20oz beverage bottle containing 7 g's E, 7 g's H3PO3, 8.4 g's I & 7 mL's H2O ), effectively maintained a temperature of aprox. 120 - 135C : successfully driving the reactions to success.
2.
- The light energy emitted from the incandescant
, Black Light, party light bulb did not have any adverse effect on the HI.
NOW for picturing how one cooks on a lightbulb....
there are three ways that Mr. Alces has done this:
1st....
An Aerosol can was emptied and the top was cut off with a Popular janeese, TV Infomertial, knife.. Next a mounting brackat was fixed to the inside bottom of the can: the light fixture was mounted in a hole that was in the center of this bracket. The mounte bulb aimed upwards..
The same bracket was used to fix the "Lamp Mantle" to a
6 x 6 chunk of lumber to provide a secure base to keep the Mantle upright.
About 4 inches above the light bulb holes were sliced every 3\4's of an inch around the circumference of the can( paralell with the top \bottom),,,,, through the sliced openings, heavy duty paper clips were bent open and fed in one hole and then out through the hole across from it on the opposite side of the can..... This was repeated until a sturdy grill was constructed, upon which many a beer bottle flask did sit !
2nd and 3 rd are way simpler
2nd
is a 2 x 6 mounted ceramic light fixture..
1 of it's 2 mounting screws is replaced with a longer one and 2 large washers are put on the screw...
3 pieces of, 12 AWG bare, copper wire are loosly tristed together and with a pair of needle nose pliers a round eyelet is formed on one end... The eyelet is sandwiched between the 2 large washers on the light fixture mounting screw and the sucker is tighteded....
next...
using the actual flask to be used with this contraption, twist the copper wires to form a round support base that holds the flask just above the light bulb and with the remaining length of copper simply wrap it around the flask to secure it in the center of the formed wire base support..
20 dollar wonder
3rd and Last
is to simpy set the ceramic fixture on somthing that's not flammable and then with bricks and broken pieces of cinder block, build a box that will cage in the flask, holding it centered as it sits directly on top of the light bulb.
No light bulb or flask glassware has ever failed by heating in this manner...
