If this plastic tubing and resin burns does it give off toxic fumes? This would be good to know for safety reasons.

is there a type of non mettalic wire?
March 6th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
I have an Idea…and I need help to get info to see if it is a concepts pertaining to this will work.
Write me back I will email you or call to discuss…I am filing for a patent if it is feasible for the market place…etc.

Awesome work. Looking forward to the next video

bad idea man its not going to do you any good
March 6th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
First of all i want to thank Dan for the inspirational video.
Second I was wondering where I can find some cheap epoxy resin like that like say 1 liter. I need for a school science project.
TY guys very much

Great Video.

I got an idea. instead of refracting the light, you should reflect it.
Get any type of hose (garden,sewage,poly….)
You want it probly at least 1 inch in dia to make it easy. Cut the hose in half along its length. Get some reflective sheeting and glue it to the inside of the hose. After you have done this to both hoses, you put the two halfs back together with some glue and or electrical tape.
Thats it, fast, easy, cheap. Hopefully effective as well.

hey you should try a small amount of coagulant,,,,,the stuff they put in pools to gather algea,….maybe it would thicken up the syrup so you could…..dump and run with the string “Fiber optic” that come from the dump….. you could dump anything into it and pull it out and it will stick to it with enough coagulant it might work

If you line the inside of the metal pipes with mylar tenting which is a very reflective material and leave them empty (full of air) instead of using water … then you’ll have a very cost effective light tunnel.
March 6th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
How about metal pipes filled with watter?
March 6th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
yeah that sounds like a good idea. several strands all bundled together. cool
March 6th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
did you try fishing line?
March 6th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Interesting, thanks for posting.

Have you thought of using clear silicone caulk in polytubing?
March 6th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Any plastic you use for solar lighting apps will need to have the uv filtered out or the optics will turn yellow as the plastics degrade. If you build a dome home and install fiber lighting you can save b/c the dome can have the fiber tied to a location then concrete added the fiber in many cases exactly where you will need it only the north rooms will need the longer cords. If you filter out the uv you remove the heat too great for the south the north wants that heat for heating in winter.

Yeah you must know something about nuclear reactors then.
March 6th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
good. but what about the cable for the Internet? How is data transferred from countries to another by an undersea cable?
Thanks.
March 6th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Don’t forget to filter out the UV and infrared light. That way the fibers will not heat up. Greetings. Love your movies by the way.
March 6th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
YEP;-) Same one.

Have you thought about possibly using mineral oil? You could cap the ends with the resin/glass to keep the oil in. It also has a very high heat tolerance.

What about flexible “Potting” compound used in many electronic projects?
March 6th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
yes a solar reactor via the steam that would flow upward from the chamber and thru an electrical generation turbine located at the surface
March 6th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
that was heavily insulated and mirrored on the inside just exaclty like a giant thermos bottle and that if that chamber were buried some 50? or so feet beneath the earth that solar energy could be piped into it as well as dicretionary amounts of (conventional solar hot water heater)heated distilled water (eliminate any possible scale buildup )were fed in as well (at the proper intervals ) that it might be possible to construct something akin to a ” solar reactor “? ty gps and youtube

Ive done some reading on some of the ” high end” high temperature capable glass fiber optic cable produced by various manufacturers and I was thinking it might be possible to use a similar concentration effort ,such as you have in your yard there with all the mirrors, for a different purpose than indoor lighting ? If enough light and as much heat as glass fiber would allow were concentrated into one straight run of cables with an overall OD of lets say 4 inches were directed to a chamber that
