  2. Light table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_table

    Light table at Tito's bunker Draftsman using light table. A light table [1] is a viewing device that is used to review photographic film or artwork placed on top of it. A horizontal form of a self-standing lightbox, it provides even illumination of the subject from below through a translucent cover and fluorescent lights that emit little heat.

  3. Hot cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_cell

    Each cell is equipped with a viewing window and two remote manipulators. A hot cell is a name given to a containment chamber that is shielded against nuclear radiation. The word hot refers to radioactivity. Hot cells are used in both the nuclear-energy and the nuclear-medicines industries.

  4. Energy neutral design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Neutral_Design

    Energy neutral design can also refer to environmentally powered electronics, where devices absorb or harvest energy from their immediate surroundings (ex. light, heat, radio waves, motion) and transform it to the electricity they require for their operation. One example of this is the batteryless radio.

  5. Newman's energy machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newman's_energy_machine

    Newman's Energy Machine was a DC motor which the inventor, Joseph Newman, claimed to produce mechanical power exceeding the electrical power being supplied to it. In 1979, Newman attempted to patent the device, but it was rejected by the United States Patent Office as being a perpetual motion machine . [ 1 ]

  6. Daylighting (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylighting_(architecture)

    Passive daylighting is a system of both collecting sunlight using static, non-moving, and non-tracking systems (such as windows, sliding glass doors, most skylights, light tubes) and reflecting the collected daylight deeper inside with elements such as light shelves.

  7. Sustainable lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_lighting

    Proper sizing of the light to the needs of the location and the tasks that will be performed, called task lighting, is an energy saving strategy." [3] "The most sustainable source of lighting is daylight, other forms are solar lamps harvesting daylight and lighting controlled by occupation sensors. Furthermore technologies such as light ...

  8. Lightbox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightbox

    It is used by photography professionals viewing transparent films, such as slides. [2] This device was originally used to sort photographic plates with ease. When laid flat, it may be called a light table. Generally, a lightbox uses light similar to daylight (5,000–6,000 kelvins (K)) and has uniform light strength on the glass pane. [3]

  9. Photoresistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoresistor

    Ambient light falling on the photoresistor causes the streetlight to turn off. Thus energy is saved by ensuring the light is only on during hours of darkness. Photoresistors are also used in laser-based security systems to detect the change in the light intensity when a person or object passes through the laser beam.
