Lets say i wanted to put a lightbulb in my mouth and have it light up, how would i go about doing this?

Answer 1

When I was about 10 years old, which was about 1955, my uncle gave me a toy light bulb that looked pretty realistic, but had a D cell battery and a flashlight bulb in it.  There was a button on the base that you could push with your tongue to make it light up.

It's possible somebody makes those now.  You could try Spencer Gifts or just do an internet search on "practical jokes" or something like that.

Also, you could do it with a low-voltage bulb by making a battery pack that you can hold in your mouth, with some way of passing the current to the base of the bulb.  Don't go over about 24 volts or you'll zorch yourself.  Real bad.

You can buy a 12 volt or 24 volt bulb that looks like a regular household bulb, but they are not readily available.  A good electrical supply store (not a home improvement store) should be able to get you one.

Know in advance that a battery pack that will fit in your mouth will only light a bulb for a few minutes.  So plan your gag around that.

Have fun.
