experiment_046: to N through S

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

Figure 02. Sunlight reflected on the south window of a building opposite the apartment of the experiment.

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:
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.

experiment_043: funnel out of aluminum foil

Figure 01. Light transferred from light to shadow through a thin fiberoptics cable with the use of a magnifying glass.

Figure 02. The magnifying glass collecting more light to be transferred through the thin fiberoptics cable.

Figure 04. Using a funnel out of aluminum foil in order to collect more light, or at least similar to the magnifying glass case.

Figure 04. Front view of the funnel collecting light.
Experiment_043:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether the magnifying glass or the funnel out of aluminum foil can be used to collect more light when using a thin fiberoptics cable (thinner than the one used in the experiment_042).
Items used in this experiment:thin fiberoptics cable, magnifying glass, funnel out of aluminum foil, daylight, shadow.

experiment_042: from light to shadow

Figure 01. Daylight transferred from light to shadow through fiberoptics cable.

Figure 02. Daylight transferred from light area to shadowy with the help of a magnifying glass.

Figure 03. Daylight transferred from light area to shadowy without the help of a magnifying glass. Less light transferred.
Experiment_042:
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. The experiment was successful.
Items used in this experiment: fiberoptics cable, magnifying glass, rocks, table, daylight. shadow.

experiment_041: guiness with aluminum

Figure 04. Side view of the glass used (with water in it).
Experiment_041:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether this special type of glass, wrapped with aluminum paper can augment the light diffused in the water. This experiment is a continuation of the experiment_040.
Items used in this experiment:water, special type of glass (guiness), laser beam, aluminum foil.

experiment_040: special type of glass

Figure 02. Changing the angle of the light projected in the water creates different type of result: no diffusion.

Figure 04. Elevation view of the special type of glass with its curves.

Experiment_040:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether this special type of glass can diffuse the light captured in its curved surfaces in a more interesting way.
Items used in this experiment: water, special type of glass, laser beam.
