Parans Fiber Optic Skylight - Sun Tracking Demo

[bosatsu76]

ooookkkk... and..... what? It tracks... How does it transmit the light? Are there fiber optics that I did not see. What's the cost?

But the video was 20 secs of information. the other 3 minutes was like watching paint dry.

"thats rad, how does it see(follow) the sun though?"

Or why does it have to see it? The place of a sun can be calculated. The houses dont usually move around so location is the same allways, sun just rises and set on a different time in summer and winter...

Great Idea but why does everybody use a dish why not use a globe shape solar collector. Dishes always need to move but a ball shaped solar collecting, can get all angles on its panels. A application like a light hub, for your limitations of transfering the light across the entire building, just use a hub of collecting the energy and send it to a electric battery and then send it to the second floor.

Good job! I'm actually involved in the development of a PSS (product service system) about Parans, so if anybody is interested in talking about this, please contact me!

@AnnyPan energy conversion is not efficient, also the spectrum of sunlight is unmatched by most artificial light sources...
