lol how am I trolling?

It's an ad for a dude who took the tubes out of the glass and is trying to sell them

Fun stuff like this can float around all it wants. Don't wanna see it? Don't read it. I knew what it was going to be when I read the title. But I still get a kick out of it

I meant the guy who's selling it is the troll.

Do these designs even work outside of a vacuum environment? Meh, either way, looks too funky to buy, but that's just the vicious skeptic in me.

You Funny Funny !!!!

I think I'll take the glass off of my lightbulbs at home so they'll run cooler.

How many threads like these do we need?
At least posted two, if not three, times before...

First a tube where the glass has been removed and thus the vaccum eliminated, next the poster is asking $50. Ok, where is the line?

Lol!

The glass just stains anyway, who needs it.

They actually will work. But not for very long.

I wonder what would burn out first, the tube or the power supply?

OP, thanks for the humor.

And so for you new out there who are seeing this, no you can't use tubes in this condition so don't buy them. The glass is used to create a vacuum to keep oxygen off the plates. The presence of oxygen and heat will oxidize the metal surfaces. Once this occurs, current flow is restricted and you eventually burn something out.
