The name refers to its original power source, existing gaslights, which filled the streets of Europe and North America in the late 19th Century mantle, referring to the way it hung above the flame. Gas Mantles are still being used in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The gas mantle was one of the many inventions of Auer von Welsbach, a chemist who studied rare earth element in 1880. His first process used a mixture of 60% Magnesium Oxide, 20% Lanthanum Oxide and 20% Yttrium Oxide, which he called Actinophor. To produce a mantle guncotton is impregnated with the mixture and then heated, the cotton burns away leaving a solid, but fragile mesh of ash. These original mantles gave off a green tinted light and were not very successful, and his first company formed to sell them failed in 1889. A new mixture of 99% Thorium Oxide and 1% Cerium Oxide gave off much whiter light, and after introducing it commercially in 1892 it quickly spread through out Europe. The gas mantle remained an important part of street lighting until the wide spread of electric lighting in early 1900. A mantle is basically a small sock made of silk or asbestos. Asbestos can withstand high temperatures, but is also toxic. Silk-based mantles are extremely brittle once first burnt and must be replaced frequently. Thorium is radioactive, and Pure Thorium becomes more radioactive as it ages owing to its...

INTRODUCTION The present investigation is the beginning of an attempt to supply a long-felt need of an accurate knov/ledge of the spectral energy distribution, of some standard sources of Hght, in the visible and in the ultra-violet parts of the spectrum. The problem is a difficult one and heretofore has never been given thorough attention. Once the spectral energy distribution of a standard source of illumination is accurately known, it is possible to obtain the spectral energy distribution of other weaker sources of radia- tion by indirect methods, such as by spectrophotography or spectrophotometry. The standard sources which are the most easily reproduced are probably well seasoned incandescent lamps 243 244 Bulletin of the Bureau of Standards [Voi.

  • The Invention of the Electric Light
    The Invention of the Electric Light B. J. G. van der Kooij This case study is part of the research work in preparation for a doctorate-dissertation to be obtained from the University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands (www.tudelft.nl). It is one of a series of case studies about “Innovation” under the title “The Invention Series”. About the text—This is a scholarly case study describing the historic developments that resulted in the steam engine. It is based on a large number of historic and contemporary sources. As we did not conduct any research into primary sources, we made use of the efforts of numerous others by citing them quite extensively to preserve the original character of their contributions. Where possible we identified the individual authors of the citations. As some are not identifiable, we identified the source of the text. Facts that are considered to be of a general character in the public domain are not cited. About the pictures—Many of the pictures used in this case study were found at websites accessed through the Internet. Where possible they were traced to their origins, which, when found, were indicated as the source. As most are out of copyright, we feel that the fair use we make of the pictures to illustrate the scholarly case is not an infringement of copyright. Copyright © 2015 B. J.

  • Gas Mantle Available in Dual, Triple Or Quad Mantle
    Gas Mantle Available in Dual, Triple or Quad Mantle Dual Mantle Triple Mantle Quad Mantle DMI TMI QMI AMERICANGASLAMP.COM Gas Mantle American Gas Lamp Works has been manufacturing the world’s finest natural gas and propane gas mantle lighting for generations. Invented by Carl Auer Von Welsbach in the 1880s, gas mantle illumination filled the streets and homes of North America and Europe for much of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As opposed to open flame natural gas lighting, mantle gas lighting uses an incandescent gas mantle, or Welsbach mantle, to generate bright white light. Gas mantles are roughly pear-shaped and glow with a bright white light when heated by a natural gas flame, yielding a soft, romantic light that stays on even when your electric power goes out. American Gas Lamp Works Gas Mantle illumination uses the highest quality, CSA-certified components to deliver safe, reliable, energy-efficient lighting. ADVANTAGES OF GAS MANTLE ILLUMINATION TECHNOLOGY • Delivers the historic, romantic look of Welsbach gas mantle lighting • Bright illumination – gas mantle lamps deliver a steady, bright white light • Safety – gas mantle technology has been perfected over one-hundred years of use • Energy efficiency – a single gas mantle generates the same light output as a 50-watt electric bulb but uses the same energy as a pilot light • Reliability and security – gas mantle lighting stays on when the power goes out, keeping your home well lit at all times • Environmental – using natural gas directly for illumination eliminates electric energy conversion and transmission inefficiencies, dramatically reducing carbon output GAS MANTLE LAMP MAINTENANCE Gas mantle lamps are rugged, durable fixtures that can last for generations.

  • Health & Hazardous Waste
    HEALTH and HAZARDOUS WASTE A Practitioner's Guide to Patients' Environmental Exposures Volume 1, Number 3 Spring 1996 IONIZING RADIATION and Your Patient Ionizing radiation is energy that can damage tissue by disrupting either the cell or the molecules used or produced by the cell, such as DNA. Ionizing radiation can be produced by unstable radioactive elements which decay in order to reach a stable, non-radioactive molecular configuration. This occurs through the emission of radioactive particles or rays. Particles include alpha and beta radiation, and rays include gamma radiation and x-rays. When these particles or rays are emitted, the remaining product is another element which may also be radioactive. This daughter product, or progeny, will in turn emit particles or rays until ultimately a non-radioactive element is formed. Units of radiation measurement include the roentgen, gray, rad, curie, and becquerel, and their milli- and micro- derivatives. Radiation dose in humans is measured in rems or sieverts. Although sievert is the international unit, rem is the term more frequently used in the U.S., and will be used in this article. Rems and sieverts take into account both the quantity and the form of radiation in dose measurements. continued on page 2 Focus on: Focus on: WELSBACH AND GENERAL GAS MANTLE U.S. RADIUM SITES High Street and Alden Street Camden and Gloucester City Orange, Essex County, NJ Camden County, NJ Other affected areas Other affected areas "Vicinity" properties located near the plant, consisting of The contaminated properties include two former factories, approximately 300 residential and light industrial approximately 23 residential properties, 7 commercial properties within 9 city blocks of the site; properties, and 9 open areas.
