SYDNEY - The sunlight will be able to 'be' captured 'and transported even in the most' dark offices and work places, without the use of windows or skylights, thanks to a new technology developed by Australian scientists. The device, shown today at the conference 'Fresh Science' being held in Melbourne, using a 'sandwich' of plastic infused with fluorescent dye, as a means to transport the natural light.
The manifold, built by researchers at the University 'of Technology Sydney, and' compact, and the light is channeled into polymer sheets flexible and carry it as far as' necessary. Natural light can 'be distributed early in the most' dark buildings with facilities similar to conventional ones, or through the moldings along the walls. The system produces large amounts' of light, but unlike the conventional windows does not allow the transmission of heat to the interior or exterior and eliminates harmful ultraviolet rays. In presenting the device
Alan Earp, of the team that developed it, said so far that it can 'lead the natural light for up to 10 meters, but his ability to' MAY 'be extended. The system will 'soon be marketed and should reach the market within a year. That the sun''and 'form light more 'friendly' to users, because 'creates a natural feel and makes it warm and inviting environment in any workplace or home. What's more 'counts, and' free,''he added Earp.
