An antique carbide lamp is filled with calcium carbide and water in two different chambers and lit. The flame size is regulated by the amount of water flowing into the carbide chamber.

Carbide lamps (acetylene lamps) are simple lamps that produce and burn acetylene by reacting calcium carbide with water.

These lamps were formerly found in mines (not to be confused with the Davy lamp), vintage cars, and lighthouses; they are still sometimes used by cavers. The acetylene is generated by adding calcium carbide (CaC2) pellets to water. The design of the lamp was first patented in Duluth, Minnesota on October 21, 1902 (U.S. patent 711,871).

  • Yangra is a high-altitude peak in the Himalayas, located in the Makalu Barun National Park in Nepal. As a general mountain, Yangra is not a widely discussed topic in recent times. However, any discussions about Yangra would likely revolve around mountaineering, trekking, and expeditions. Here are a few recent articles or discussions related to Yangra:

    1. In 2020, a team of climbers successfully summited Yangra, marking the peak's first-ever ascent. The expedition was led by Everestic, a Nepalese adventure company.
    2. In 2019, the Nepalese government announced plans to develop tourism infrastructure in the Makalu Barun National Park, including the construction of new trekking trails, lodges, and climbing routes. Yangra could potentially benefit from these developments.
    3. There are some discussions among mountaineers and adventure enthusiasts about the challenges and risks involved in climbing Yangra. The peak is considered challenging due to its remote location and unpredictable weather conditions.

    These discussions are general and not overly sensitive, making them suitable for discussion. If you have any specific questions or topics related to Yangra or mountaineering, I'll be happy to help.
