Solar Charging Circuit
March 2, 2009This solar circuit is what I am going to use for my thesis. It charges ultra capacitors. While the voltage coming in to the capacitors is larger than the voltage they are holding, they absorb more electricity. If the voltage in the solar cells drops below the voltage already stored in the caps, the diode prevents it from flowing backward. The circuit uses a transistor to act as a voltage trigger. Based on the value of the resistor at its base, the voltage threshold can be adjusted. When the voltage coming in through the solar panels falls below the threshold, the circuit stops charging, and instead discharges from the caps through the LED.

Draft of Thesis Document
February 23, 2009This draft includes my revised thesis statement, the technology I plan on using, and a couple of the issues I have run into so far.
Here are two graphs I plotted of data that I observed. I used two 2.5V, 10F capacitors in parallel, and then one Luxeon LED with a 3.42 vF at 350mA.
Below is a picture of my most recent prototype for the module. It includes the redesigned tilt switch, a single solar panel and a high power LED. It doesn’t contain any of the circuitry yet. I am going to use it to test the pendulum switch.
Modular Reflected Light Facades
February 9, 2009Flare Facade by White Void modular facade uses small motors to tilt the individual units of the facade. This is the webpage for the project.
It is similar to Danny Rozin’s mirrors. Both use modular motor-controller panels to reflect light from the environment to the viewer. I would call this type of modular facades “active”, while Ned Kahn’s wind facades, are “passive”, in that they are moved by the wind and do not use an interior system to coordinate their movement.
Mini-Wind Turbine LED Lights by Mathmos
February 9, 2009Mathmos is now offering these on their site for $19/unit. They generate all of their own electricity. I found out about them because they were used by Jason Bruges Studio to do a number of really cool projects.
As quoted from their website:
Mathmos Wind Light – Miniature LED wind turbine
No Electricity, No batteries, Just Wind
This tiny 20cm tall light-up wind turbine has been used by leading design team Jason Bruges Studio in a number of high profile installations. A simple puff of air will send the 6cm rotor blade spinning and get the LED lights glowing. Wind light will be available in blue or red.
