Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lighting by Acetylene: A Treatise for the Practical Lighting Engineer, Containing Elementary Information and Details for Those About to Take Up the Work There is not the least doubt now about Acetylene Gas being commercially applicable to the many purposes for which artificial light is needed, particularly in places where coal gas and electricity are unavailable and only oil illumination otherwise possible. It can now be said quite positively that this gas is the light of the future for country houses and works, unless, of course, some thing better' and cheaper should be devised, which is very unlikely. Acetylene can now be made (given a proper gene rator) bya lad or any unskilled person, without super 'vision and with no risk; and it can be had at a cost that compares equally With coal gas at about 3s. 6d. Per thousand feet for a given candle-power or brilliancy of illumination. This is after allowing for wear and tear and interest on outlay. Should the present price of carbide go down, or should its gas-yielding qualities be increased, then acetylene will compare, of course, more favourably still. 'acetylene. The present cost of the gas, however, is no obstacle to its free adoption, for it is' in very few country places that coal gas costs less than 3s. 6d. Per thousand feet, and in many districts it exceeds this greatly. Probably most people would rather pay a little more for coal gas supplied by a gas company, as the trouble of making the acetylene, small as it is or should be, is still a trouble, and the outlay for the apparatus has to be considered. Therefore acetylene is unlikely to displace coal gas where the latter exists but it is already a possible and strong rival to coal gas if it should be a question of which gas plant shall be laid down to light a village. For single-residence plants acetylene has nothing to fear from coal' gas, neither need it fear much from gasoline, which is dirty, ill - smelling and expensive in compari son with the later illuminant. Gasoline is also more dangerous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lighting by Acetylene: Generators, Burners and Electric Furnaces As for the American gas generators, a description of types of those which the author has been able to discover from an examination of the United States Patent Office records, direct interviews with the manufacturers or inquiry among the carbide dealers is included; but, since hundreds are experimenting in this field, and since two or three new generators are patented in this country each week, it is quite impossible to include the most recent ones. Suffice it to say that, in the very nature of the problem involved, generators may all be divided into three classes, and that any new machine can differ from the existing forms only in matters of detail. For the production of acetylene it is necessary to bring calcic carbide into contact with water in some kind of vessel from which the resulting gas may be conveyed for use. Whether the carbide is thrown into water, or the water is poured upon the carbide, is in general terms a matter of indifference, the result being practically the same.
