Experiment_053:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether rocks found at the beach can be used to diffuse light.
Items used in this experiment: white rocks found at the beach, flash light, led light.

experiment_052: many small rocks

Experiment_052:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether the rocks on the transparent plexiglass and the mirror can provide a space for the light to be diffused.
Items used in this experiment: many small rocks, mirror, flash light.

experiment_051: thickness

Experiment_051:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether we can transfer the light through the thickness of the transparent plastic material. The material used is similar to the experiment is a continuation of the experiment_050.
Items used in this experiment: transparent plastic piece of material (very thick), laser beam, led light, wall.

experiment_050: the split

Experiment_050:

For this experiment we wanted to test whether we can bend the light through the thick transparent plastic (slightly curved) material. The experiment is a continuation of the experiment_032 with the use of a thicker material.
Items used in this experiment: transparent plastic piece of material (very thick), laser beam, wall.

experiment_049: light breaking in

Experiment_049:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether the west light of the setting sun can be directed into the interior space of another house at its south side. This experiment is a continuation of the experiment_046, and experiment_048.
Items used in this experiment: sunlight, summer afternoon, mirror.


This experiment is a continuation of the

experiment_048: from W to S


Figure 01. The reflected sunlight can be seen as a spot right on the address label at the corner of the house.
For this experiment we wanted to test whether the west light of the setting sun can be directed to the south side of a house through its reflection on a mirror. The experiment took place on an august afternoon. This experiment is a continuation of the experiment_046.
Items used in this experiment: sunlight, summer afternoon, mirror.

experiment_047: one mirror - many rooms

Experiment_047:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether by using one mirror we can direct the sunlight in different (dark) rooms of an apartment by only changing the position and angle.
Items used in this experiment: sunlight, sunlight, mirror.

experiment_046: to N through S


Figure 01. The sunlight arrives in the north room after being reflected in buildings surrounding this apartment.

Figure 03.The reflected sunlight.
Experiment_046:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether the light can be transferred indirectly in a room through its reflection to the buildings around. This experiment took place during the winter in room with north orientation.
Items used in this experiment: north orientated room, sunlight, winter.

experiment_045: ice-cream scoop


Figure 01. Process of the experiment where light is collected through the ice-cream scoop.
Experiment_046:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether the ice-cream scoop can be used to collect more light to be transferred through the fiberoptics cable. The experiment is a continuation of the experiments 042, 043, and 044 where a magnifying glass and a funnel out of aluminum foil were used instead of the ice-cream scoop.
Items used in this experiment:thin fiberoptics cable, ice-cream scoop, daylight, shadow.

experiment_044: from light to shadow 2

Experiment_044:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether the magnifying glass used in the area where the light is collected can multiply the quantity of daylight being transferred from the light to the shadowy area. This experiment is similar to experiment_042.
Items used in this experiment: fiberoptics cable, magnifying glass, rock, table, daylight. shadow.
