I witnessed a bronze or copper sheet of metal glow once on a job sight when electricity ran through it. What happened was that there was a choke point in the metal like so gt;lt; and the current caused the metal beyond the choke to glow. I assume it has something to do with the electrons being excited as they break past that resistance point but I haven‘t been able to find any scientific explanation as of yet. Was hoping you fine people could help me out here, thanks.
Valve stem removed, plug an air hose to it in short bursts, the air escapes as soon as the hose is removed. OR try a Q tip.
For about $1 you can get a valve stem valve removal tool from autozone. The valve just unscrews from the valve stem. Super easy. Just clean it out, screw it back in, and reinflate. It actually is that simple.
it called incandescence like in the light bulb
A metal lights up due to its heat. The electrical resistivity changes at the choke point of the piece of metal. The resistivity describes how strongly the metal opposes the flow of electrical current. As the electrical current is flowing into a smaller piece of metal the resistivity is locally higher than the surrounding metal. This excess energy, due to opposition of current flow, is mainly lost as heat in order for the energy of the system to be conserved.
Get the bike up on a jack and you might be in a position to pull this off. I assume it would be rather a lot less complicated to have the wheel off the bike though. The lazy man always works twice.
