torches, gas lamps, and man made fires. People 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…

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…

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…

a lack of learning for those who participate. The Kilgore High School drama department needs to upgrade their lighting system to give students an equal understanding of lighting in the theatre in full, such as the hanging, programing, and production process. With a lack of lighting fixtures, students lack the ability to learn about the hanging…

Throughout his work, Hemingway explores internal and existential conflicts in the characters he creates. Most of these conflicts arise due to the fact that the characters he writes about are currently fighting in a war, or have recently returned from battle. The chaotic and unsettling nature of the violence these men experience provokes and leaves unresolved important questions about the nature of life and death. Although the war and violence have caused irreversible damage for many, Hemingway…

Verlyn Klinkenborg, author of “Our Vanishing Night”, explains exactly why light pollution has spread. "We are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light” (Klinkenborg pg.478). He explains that humans have filled the night with light, so we have an easier time adapting to the darkness. However, with this comes consequences with our actions. Klinkenborg is effective when persuading the audience that light pollution is a problem. Therefore, there need to be actions taken…

For my paper I am going to focus on the movie Singin’ in the Rain and incorporate a quote from the reading stating “From the very beginning of Singin’ in the Rain, the technology responsible for sound reproduction—technology that is usually hidden—is displayed” (Reader, 182). The clip from the film I am going to discuss and analyze is the opening scene of a premiere for Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont. I am going to discuss everything leading up to their arrival. The scene starts off with a big…

of Illinois at Springfield campus, where I currently reside, there is much less light pollution, primarily because the university is located far outside the city of Springfield and is surrounded by rural, agricultural areas with little artificial lighting. The lack of light pollution around the university campus makes the sky appear much darker and makes the stars, planets, and even some artificial satellites like the International Space Station easier to see against the darkness. The usually…
