SPECTRA OF ELECTRIC ARCS AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE


This web page will be for nothing but spectra of electric arcs at atmospheric pressure (~14.70PSI):

Ocean Optics USB2000 Spectrometer donated by P.L.
As of 10-10-07, I've been using a PC2000-ISA Spectrometer from Ocean Optics that I received several years ago, but that I didn't have a home for until now.
As of 03-08-08, I once again have the USB2000 Spectrometer, enabling color spectra again.
As of 09-19-09, I no longer have the PC2000-ISA; it was sold to prevent an eviction.

SPECTRA OF ELECTRIC ARCS AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE:


Spectrographic analysis of the electric arc of the Cheetah Rechargeable Stun Gun 10MV w/ LED Light.
I allowed the spectrometer to operate at its widest range from 175nm in the UVC to 874nm in the NIR regions of the spectrum to capture as much of the arc's spectral content as I could with the instrument at my disposal. As you can see, there is output all the way down to 250nm and all the way up past 874nm.

The raw spectrometer data (tab-delimited that can be loaded into Excel) is at stunarc.txt


Spectrographic analysis of the electric arc of the Cheetah Rechargeable Stun Gun 10MV w/ LED Light; spectrometer's response narrowed to a band bwtween 175nm and 380nm to show UV output. Spectrometer's input deliberately overloaded to show weaker UV emission.











Do you manufacture or sell an LED flashlight, task light, utility light, or module of some kind? Want to see it tested by a real person, under real working conditions? Do you then want to see how your light did? If you have a sample available for this type of real-world, real-time testing, please contact me at bdf1111@yahoo.com.

Please visit this web page for contact information.

Unsolicited flashlights, LEDs, and other products appearing in the mail are welcome, and it will automatically be assumed that you sent it in order to have it tested and evaluated for this site.
Be sure to include contact info or your company website's URL so visitors here will know where to purchase your product.
