Abstract
The Sun, a giant laser, being 93 million miles from Earth, is the greatest point-source light in existence. The light-rays emanating from the Sun as photons traveling 93 million miles in distance, is a nearly-perfectly collimated light form. The intent of this invention is to capture those highly collimated light-ray photons and gently redirect them in several directions, while greatly compounding them, and keeping them in a highly parallel form to be delivered to the final destination. This invention is supported by a second source light, in which the Sun's location is replaced by the HID element in a newly invented form for capturing and compounding the light-rays. Compounding for both sources can be as great as desired.
Claims2
A method of illuminating a volume space comprising
- a. collecting solar rays, by means of a collection system that includes a plurality of reflectors that reflects and concentrates the collected solar rays, and produces parallel concentrated solar rays,
- b. reflecting the parallel concentrated solar rays by a rotating reflector that is rotating at a speed that produces reflected flashes of the parallel concentrated solar rays at a speed that creates the visual impression of a constant and continuing source of light and
- c. providing one or more reflectors spaced from the rotating reflector and oriented to reflect the reflected flashes of the parallel concentrated solar rays from the rotating reflector to the volume space, in a manner that spreads the reflected flashes of parallel concentrated solar rays over a predetermined portion of the volume space to create the visual impression of a constant and continuing source of light over the predetermined portion of the volume space.
