Re: Exothermic Task
I know this sounds like another argument waiting to happen, but if you were to use an array of LEDs, would this count as exothermic?

Re: Exothermic Task
So do you think that the ES will actually measure to see if it heats up? I mean, light=heat so in that regard they must be exothermic.ScottMaurer19 wrote:I mean technically an LED generates heat but its not very apparentdaydreamer0023 wrote:Something came up from tryouts and I wanted to clarify.ScottMaurer19 wrote: Why couldn´t you just use a small halogen light?

Re: Exothermic Task
I could see some ES being skeptical on how exothermic an LED is... One of the main featues of LEDs is that produce light without very much heat generation.dragonfruit35 wrote:So do you think that the ES will actually measure to see if it heats up?

Re: Exothermic Task
Totally agreed. Why don't you just buy some incandescent light bulbs - in incandescent bulbs, the light is generated because a wire has heated up, making them definitely fulfill the Exothermic->Light requirement? Digikey sells some with the same form factor as LEDs for $0.63: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/ ...

Re: Exothermic Task
Yeah, that was my plan, I've already found some ! I was just wondering since that seems to be a valid argument.Iwilsonp wrote:Totally agreed.

Re: Exothermic Task
Would we have to use light bulbs? Couldn't we use calcium chloride or something?

Re: Exothermic Task
If the reaction is exothermic, produces light, and won't put you in the hospital, it should be fine.tinyperson wrote:Would we have to use light bulbs? Couldn't we use calcium chloride or something?
