Electron Valve @electronvalve.co · 28/07/2026Ok, that is scary - No boots on the tubes? Super thin wiring? (also, where do the wires exit the channel letters? Like, it may illuminate, but that seems more than a little sketchy. 121

Reposted by Electron ValvePlognark @plognark.bsky.social · 11/04/2026I don’t know enough of the basics here, but I think it’s probably “thermal broadening”, where the silicon dioxide molecules, when hot, now block a broader range of the normal room-temperature bandwidth. It still looks transparent to us since we can’t see in the affected wavelengths. 032
Electron Valve @electronvalve.co · 11/04/2026I ran in to the same AI problem :-/ The other prevalent metal element in the the glass I *think* is boron but I purchased this on eBay with no technical specifications. Apparently it was made by Corning but I can't seem to find any spec sheet. 110
Electron Valve @electronvalve.co · 11/04/2026Me: Will it stick? Narrator: It would not stick. No matter how many times he tried. The difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion was too great between the glasses and he didn't bother to google it before trying. 130
Electron Valve @electronvalve.co · 11/04/2026Yes, actually. This is actually a pretty forgiving glass to work with. It doesn't expand/contract as much as soda lime so it's less likely to crack when you heat it. Subjectively, it felt more fluid than the same diameter soda-lime glass. But it's also only 5mm OD. 020

Electron Valve @electronvalve.co · 11/04/2026Weird discovery about uranium glass today - when you heat it, it looses it's ability to fluoresce. The dark spot in the tube was held in a flame for just a second. After the tube cools, the bent portion glows the same as the unbent glass. Does not adhere to soda-lime glass. Does to boro. 5186
