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:
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.

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_039:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether we can alter the reflections on the wall coming out of the device constructed for experimentation with light travel in curved space. This experiment is a continuation of the experiment_038. The light effect is generated by the way the light reflects on the aluminum foil and the way it projects itself in the rough surface of the wall.
Items used in this experiment: paper tubes (out of toilet paper), aluminum foil, laser beam, rough wall.

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_025:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether we can bring daytime light through mirrors' reflection in an interior dark room. The experiment is similar to the experiment_024, however in this one we tried to bounce the light to surfaces of the room in order to diffuse it. We used aluminum foil to increase the reflection
Items used in this experiment: mirror, aluminum foil, hard surfaces (door, closet), daytime light.

experiment_010

Experiment_010:
For this experiment we wanted to test how light is moving with the help of a reflective material similarly to the figure 06 of the experiment_008 and to the experiment_009. In this experiment we used a small, less intense flash light and we also added one more container at the light emission (right side in the figure 02).
Items used in this experiment: aluminum disposable containers, small flash light, blue lighter.

experiment_009

Experiment_009:
For this experiment we wanted to test how light is moving with the help of a reflective material similarly to the figure 06 of the experiment_008 where 5 containers are set up in longitudinal configuration to create an environment for the light to travel. In this experiment, instead of using flash light, we used the laser beam: as it has its "rays" parallel to each other was able to travel with the same intensity and arrive at the desired object (blue lighter) stronger than the light in the experiment_008.
Items used in this experiment: aluminum disposable containers, laser beam, blue lighter.

Experiment_008:
For this experiment we wanted to test how light is moving with the help of a reflective material. We were able to direct light through multiple reflective "lines" and to also light an object. The containers, due to their rectangular shape, can be translated in a different scale, to rooms or spaces.
Items used in this experiment: aluminum disposable containers, flash light, blue lighter.
