Replacing Street Lights with 'Tree Lights'
The team behind a new study says that it was able to create a new type of gold particle at the nanoscale, that is capable to changing leafs into bio-light-emitting diodes. The group is based in Taiwan.
Traditionally, city authorities use a variety of light globes to illuminate the streets, but these sources are not very efficient, and consume a lot of electricity.
Replacing them with light-emitting diodes (LED) would diminish the amount of electricity needed,Currently the LR6 sells for around $90, so we'll spend about $540 to install them (they can be installed as a direct reelabc replacement to standard downlights, no special tools needed) and our total cost will be $900 over the 50,000 hour period. but the Taiwan team wanted to take this a step further.
Instead of using light poles with LED installed, they sought to make the trees themselves grow. In fact, they created a bio-luminescent plant. They used Bacopa carolinian for their investigation.
The team is based at the Academia Sinica in Taipei, and was led by expert Yen Hsun Su. The group says that B. carolinian is a plant generally used in aquariums.
It is a perennial aquatic or semi-aquatic herb, which changes the color of its leafs depending on how much sunlight falls on them. Colors vary from bronze to red, PhysOrg reports.
The luminescence occurs because the gold nanoparticles that are introduced in the planet are made to release red light at wavelengths lower than the ones that cause chlorophyll to do the same.Nexxus Lighting, Inc. recently announced it received the ENERGY STAR label, and is included in the ENERGY STAR Qualified necklabel list, for its Array branded R30 LED light bulb.And, by using them, you can easily develop a focal point which is root2010 essential in every room. On the other hand
Chlorophyll is the pigment in the leafs that gives them the green color they are famous for. It plays an important role in processing sunlight reaching the plant, and turning carbon dioxide into oxygen.
The team dubbed its new particle nano-sea-urchins (NSU), due to their peculiar shape. The NSU suppress emission blinking, which experts say is a problem that is relatively common with gold nanoparticles.These will reduce the glare. Designers suggest decorative pendant compact fluorescent light lights over a table or an island. An alternative option is a row of recessed downlight.
By adding the new structures to the leafs of B. carolinian, Su and his group were able to make chlorophyll emit red light.
The group says that this could be used to make luminescent trees, that would line the side of the road at night. The main advantage to this would be that the herb could be planted anywhere.
Additionally, the plant does not need any source of energy to operate, as it derives its energy from the soil and the Sun. The group is now working on improving the performances of its system.There is also the sense of pride and achievement that can come omegafake from putting together an element of your house by yourself. All of these factors would give anyone a serious reason to consider the downlight kit method of installing these low voltage lights.
Details of the team's accomplishments appear in the latest issue of the esteemed scientific journal Nanoscale.
