Latest Mercury-vapor lamp Stories
LAS VEGAS, July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kendall Square Research, Inc. (Pink Sheets: KSQR) announces the potential of its new energy efficient street light. Most of the highways, roadways and alleyways nationwide use inefficient Metal Halide or mercury vapor style lights for illumination. If 5 million 100 watt Metal Halide street lights were replaced with the new efficient 80 watt street light, the results would be a reduction of 963,600,000 KWs generating an annual energy savings of...

A mercury arc valve converts high-voltage or high-current alternating current into direct current. It is an electrical rectifier often used to provide power for industrial motors, electric railways, streetcars, and electric locomotives. Peter Cooper Hewitt, in 1902, invented the mercury arc rectifier. It was further developed by researchers throughout the 1920s and 1930s. Prior to solid-state devices, mercury arc rectifiers were one of the more efficient rectifiers. Silicon diode and...
