(1) It is like comparing a red-hot poker pulled from a fire with the filament in an electric light bulb: there is no doubt concerning which is the brighter.

(2) Her only connection to the world a tenuous filament of wires, tubes and intravenous needles.

(3) It glimmers at barely 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, which is cooler than a light bulb filament .

(4) Unlike an incandescent bulb, no filament is needed.

(5) It was as white and alive as the filament of a light bulb viewed close up.

(6) The new lamp not only has the size and shape of a conventional filament bulb but also comes with a standard screw base and can therefore be fitted in any lamp or light socket.

(7) A strong, alternating current heats a resistive filament , causing it to emit electrons.

(8) An incandescent light bulb contains a thin wire filament (usually tungsten) that glows hot when an electric current is run through it.

(9) Regular incandescent light bulbs produce light by heating a small filament inside the bulb.

(10) A filament of cellulose

(11) The most important factors determining the heating of a filament to incandescence are thermal mass and electrical resistance of the filament .

(12) An incandescent black light bulb is similar to a normal household light bulb, but it uses light filters to absorb the light from the heated filament .

(13) He had division of the terminal filament for a tethered spinal cord, which was thought to be the cause of his symptoms.

(14) The tungsten filament of an incandescent light is an example of a wire under extreme conditions.

(15) But unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs, they don't have a filament that will burn out, and they don't get especially hot.

(16) In an incandescent bulb, the filament is made of a thin piece of tungsten metal, coiled to fit inside the bulb; if it were stretched out, it would measure about 6 feet long!

(17) In one experiment, the researchers formed the yarn into a lightbulb filament and found that its strength and conductivity increased after it heated up.

(18) He used a carbon filament in an oxygen-free bulb.

(19) The inert gas prevents the wire filament inside the bulb from reacting chemically with oxygen and burning out quickly.

(20) Short and long stamens were measured from the base of the filament to the tip of the anthers.
