How to connect the lamp?

Apr 05, 2008 107 Replies

Hi, my name is Draconian Karmanutti, and I am a student of the University of Bungledoom in Idiana. My assignement is to connect the 12 volt 10 mA supply to the



230V 100 W lightbulb.

I tried with copper wires, but it does not light up, maybe I should use alu wires? Or need the copper wires be on a PCB? Can I use wood for the PCB? Also should I use the transistor to amply the light? You professional opinnion I await with great expectation, please help me to complte this circuit.



Yours trolley Draconian Karmanutti.


Why would you expect it to light up? Please explain how a light bulb works.

Read the headers. It's TURD trying to be funny.

It did. You just missed it. Upon initial connection, there was an impulse response of a few nanosecond. You are just too slow to catch it.

It's simple. Get twenty 12-volt lead-acid batteries. Charge each, one at a time, from the 12 volt power supply. Allow about three weeks to charge each... you can surely do the math based on the amp-hour capacity. You may have to deal with battery self-discharge, but you can Google that. Do you have Google in India?

When they're all charged up, wire them in series and connect to the light.

Doing my part for international brotherhood,

Didn't the header of aioe.org mean anything to you??

Hello Drac. First you must sacrifice a goat to Wotan. This is not my idea -- I have it on good authority from a blond guy. I was listening throught the tent. He said more, but I can't remember.

Upon which altar?

You/he left out some vital information.

Gurgling and slurping sounds?

Secret herbs and spices, maybe? What kind of spices go good with goat anyway...?

Got nothing Googling on "Bungledoom". Is the OP a friend of Doctor Jones and miss-interpreted the Temple as University?

Arsenic.

Easiest way I can think of is to cut the mains lead from the 12 power supply (UNPLUG it first, dummy!)

Then strip the ends of the mains flex, solder these to the lightbulb, plug in and switch on.

Hey Presto Light!

You are 4 days late. We call it April Fool. It is a day of spoofing fools.

Beats a turd trying to be chummy...

Well, they're both flat and both East of here, so no big deal.

If this is a UF base light bulb, you need to connect it like this:

Geez...this is more goofy than my 2007 parody post entitled 'I can't get my piece of wire to work'.

University??... I learned this stuff in high school physics.

And what the hell are you, besides being an ignorant, worthless troll? No formal education beyond high school, eh, you really took on life's challenges in a big way didn't you, pussy...
