Seems an interesting one. Did any one answer it?

I guess I've not understood the question. You have been given a 100 watt bulb, which you are supposed to glow without connecting to electricity source. Right?

i don't think i understand this question.you want to glow the 100 watt bulb without any wire? where is the source? where is the closed circuit?

I vaguely remember, we've had a discussion on wireless distribution of electricity. However the topic is interesting!

sorry guys, I know any one can WIKI but i just took intiative.

Yeah, you do not need wire. There are many many conductive materials out there. yes, a lot of them are not very efficient conductors. Even your body will work if you are holding it. There's an old sideshow trick where someone sits on a table and shoots electric bolts via a generator from their hands and lights up bulbs.

I am not sure but can solar energy be used here? 😕

How about becoming a new edison who invent -"A solar bulb" 😁

Haha, Shalini, I think Nikola Tesla rolled over his grave at the mention of edison 😛

i think we can make a bulb glow by using a closed circuit and passing power as an EMF.
Material which conduct will make the bulb glow

Hi ...
I am the one who is verymuch interested in "Wireless Transmission of Power" .....

I think... recent development in this regards is a 60 W of power is been transmitted to a distance of about 1 mtr...

let me know if there is any further development....?

Hey my first post! I know how to make a 100watt bulb (fluorescent) glow without wire, put it against a plasma ball. How it works, I don't know, it some sort of phenomenon. Here's a video I found, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os2xs6S4i-g" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">AWESOME Plasma ball and fluorescent bulb phenomenon (flourescent) NEW - YouTube</a> - hope you found this helpful 😀

100watts is too much power of-course does the questions means wireless glowing of bulb with the source at a distance or it should be just wire-free!!!

I tell you what, why don't we try doing a simple EMF experiment? Generate lets say.. 1W of transmit power through a dipole antenna at 2.4 GHz, get another dipole antenna and hook it up to a receiving circuit containing an LED. The usually just require 60mA of current. If it lights up, we'll have successfully performed "wireless" electrical transmission.. even if it is highly inefficient 😉

Though, trying to transmit 100W worth will get you intro trouble with authorities, if it hasn't fried your organs yet.

Has anyone built a Tesla coil? I've built a small unit way back when. With the proper skills and equipment, it is a simple foray into generation and exploring wireless transmission.

but tesla coils has its limitations too..........since tesla days

true, however Tesla was working on power tramsmission as he believed all power could be transmitted wirelessly. He built a huge coil unit until funding ran out.

well still many are working on his principle but no takers for them,since they are considered very dangerous and increses the chance of accidents!!!

In answer to your question of lighting a bulb without wires, I believe itâ€™s all to do with the inductive field surrounding AC high-tension transmission wires. I must state at this point that nobody should try this, as it is extremely dangerous. Hold a fluorescent tube (100w fine) near a phase of one of the conductors and the bulb will glow, the best results are seen on >132KV but you can get results on 33KV.

Hope this answers your question

Agree to Pluto.

I have also heard that in some villages in India, where high tension lines pass through, people try to install bulbs near these which glow & provide them light. Hence, you do not have to pay for the electricity consumption. ;-)

It also requires a distance to be maintained, else the bulb get fused or blasts. :sshhh:

I have heard about that too.

One thing, I was toying with this question and I came out with a crazy answer. This is just stupid, but I thought in another way, in a simple way, simple and stupid enough.

The question is to glow a 100 watt bulb without a wire. I stressed myself on the word "wire". Wire is a shape of a material, it is not an independent material. A conductor can take shape of a wire, a block, a sheet, a pipe etc. Cant we use conductors in any other shape???
Please don't laugh, but I couldn't think of wireless electricity or solar energy. I just thought about it in a simple way.
What do you think?
