this brave new world! Even if there was a way to escape the digital realm, the outdoors are still affected by it, and the many sedentary activities we engage in, such as binge watching, don’t change this epidemic. Even with the influence of natural lighting in future technologic innovations, would it really make a difference? The concept of artificial light made to emulate natural light sounds ludicrous, and adds another failure to the human race. Would people still want to go outside, walk…
Albert Einstein said, “No object can travel faster than the speed of light.” However, will the temperature change the brightness of light? The researcher will perform the test three different times. Each test will take one glow stick from the freezer, one from the refrigerator, one in boiling water, and one from the counter and break the glow stick to make it glow. The researcher will then time the length of time it takes for the glow stick to turn off. At the conclusion of the experiment, the…
quality of the electrical lighting plays a role in learning and on concentration. Light is essential for humans to function, is essential for mood and cognition, essential for vision, can evoke emotions, and regulates bodily processes such as alertness and sleepiness. Having large windows that allow for an abundance of natural light is the best, but using quality artificial lighting can also work for when natural light is not possible or there is too much glare. In addition, lighting can also be…
fuel source was burned which created a flame, thus emitting light. The earliest fuel sources were wood and oil. Efficiency was maximized from those fuel sources and eventually deemed no longer a viable for providing enough light. Fire, heat, poor lighting, and messy wax were among just a few…
all around the country take having light whenever it is needed for granted. Before the lightbulb was invented by Thomas Edison, having a safe and reliable source of light was not heard of besides the sun. Lighting places up such as homes, buildings and towns was a very dangerous task due to the high risk of fires starting, having black residue left behind on anything near gas lamps and gaslights, and having the presence and smell of smoke very often . Not only did safety improve with Edison’s…
Jalousie windows have horizontal slats layered on top of each other and are opened using a crank. They can be opened in unison or at different angles to let in air or light. They are ideal for both commercial and residential units. When choosing the type of windows to fix in your home, it is important to consider the climate, the expectations of the space and the architectural design of the house. Windows complement the interior decor of the house. Jalousie windows are an excellent choice for…
Lifestyle Change Project For the lifestyle change project, I chose to reduce my energy consumption. The primary reason for choosing this was to save money. Energy consumption was one aspect of the environment that had not paid much attention to. This change is also universal. Anyone can make a conscious effort to reduce his or her electricity consumption. It essentially requires awareness to the issue. Electricity use has “environmental implications, a reduction in electricity use by any means…
Abstract Inspired by the color tuning function of King Blade X (an electronic glow stick), this paper investigates different approaches of LED color tuning, including dim-to warm tuning, white color tuning, and full color tuning. This paper would go over their operating principles, advantage and withdraws, and potential applications. Introduction The interest to investigate LED color tuning originated from my King Blade. This is an electronic glow stick used in live concerts. One of its…
enjoyment. The innovation allowed customers to relax and relish the lighting system that would adjust the illumination of the cabin between two flight phases slowly and gradually, in colour as well as brightness and shades. The lighting would adjust to an artificially shortened day during the flight to ensure that the passengers ' natural Biorhythms will be prepared slowly and gradually…
RESULT AND DISCUSSION 1. Hardware testing A prototype of street lighting automation system is developed and the whole prototype design is as shown in Figure-9. The design of whole project was done with 12 LEDs, 4 PIR sensors and 1 LDR sensor. All the wiring and connection are connected to Arduino board. This was done by calibrate part by part which is started with LDR sensor, then PIR sensor and lastly LED as light module. During day, all LEDs and PIR sensor is turned off. This condition is…
