In high school we had to make a Light bulb.....welp my thinking was thicvker wire more light....so mason jar....2 bolts and some 10 gage wire hooked to a 3 proned plug.....blew every circut in the science building....but the teacher sure lite up
I put a penny in a lamp socket and turned it on. That little stunt got me in some trouble. It melted the light socket and burned up the wires in the lamp.
Sure made for one awesome light show...for about a 1/2 second till the fuse blew and the house went dark.
