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_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_028: corridor

Figure 05. The (broken) mirror used in these experiments (24-28).
Experiment_028:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether we can bring daytime light through mirrors' reflection in an interior dark corridor. The experiment is a continuation to the experiments_024-_027. We have tried to use an obstacle in order to further diffuse the light in the corridor. However the obstacle acts the other way, by concentrating light more.
Items used in this experiment: mirror, door, corridor, daytime light.

experiment_027

Figure 02. Light deriving in the interior dark space after hitting the aluminum foil and the wall with the posters.
Experiment_027:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether we can bring daytime light through mirrors' reflection in an interior dark room. The experiment is another version of the experiment_026 with the difference of using aluminum foil. The result is rewarding in diffusing the light in the room.
Items used in this experiment: mirror, aluminum foil, surfaces (door, curtain wall with posters), daytime light.

experiment_026

Experiment_026:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether we can bring daytime light through mirrors' reflection in an interior dark room. The experiment is continuation of the experiment_024, and the experiment_025. The main purpose of the series of these experiments (24-27, and 28 too) is to find an effective way to diffuse the light in the dark space. In this one we tried to bounce the light from the door to the room in order to diffuse it.
Items used in this experiment: mirror, surfaces (door, wall with posters), daytime light.

experiment_024: afternoon light

Figure 02.

Figure 03.
Experiment_024:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether we can bring daytime light through mirrors' reflection in an interior dark room.
Items used in this experiment: mirror, daytime light.

experiment_003: mirror in water

Figure 01. Experiment overview: Bathtub filled with water and mirror sited in one side with the flashlight hanging over it.

Figure 02. Close up: The far end that receives the light after is being transferred through the water.

Figure 03. Close up: The flashlight projects light towards the mirror.

(Figure 04. Mini test: Light projected in the water directly.)

Figure 05. Experiment overview (vertical enlarged photo).

Experiment_003:
For this experiment we wanted to check whether the waster can be a material through which we can direct water through reflection. One can see, that the angle of the mirror, receives the light from the flashlight and reflects at the (long) end of the bathtub. Note: the black tube seen in the photos is not part of the experiment.
Items used in this experiment: water, mirror, bathtub, flashlight.
