It is the LED lamp and the food to see how wonderful the microalgae are

Lei Feng Reuters, microalgae is a kind of widely distributed in the land, sea, nutrient rich, high photosynthetic utilization of autotrophic plants. It is an effective way of renewable biomass energy and carbon dioxide reduction through photosynthesis. Earlier, researchers have found that microalgae produce weak currents during photosynthesis. A certain amount of microalgae can be collected in a closed glass container, and the LED lamp in the current light bottle can be collected.

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Pittsburgh in the emergence of such a peculiar exhibits, called "bio (Living Things)". It is the architect Jacob Douenias and industrial designer Ethan Frier, the use of micro algae algae in the unique nature of the unique design of a concept of microbial photosynthesis lamp.

The reason why the selection of spirulina, Spirulina is because of the unique green color, coupled with the absorption of light, and its edible (which can be made into powder added to the food). Two designers will use special Spirulina these traits, which was kept in alkaline medium, and then into the glass like tank size, with waste heat, light, and carbon dioxide, will produce Spirulina photosynthesis, which emit green light.

These shapes are different, all kinds of hand blown glass bottles to large indoor to provide heat and light, and they are the high performance photo bioreactor to algae inside the heating, lighting, ventilation, nutrition and metabolite control.

Working principle and flow

Designers will be installed in a variety of different shapes of Spirulina large glass, can be hung or placed as lighting and decoration in the living room and dining room, the light through photosynthesis, different parts of the room a refreshing green light. Find a place where you can install the control system, connect each lamp with water pipes and cables. The control center controls the circulation of each lamp.

3D printed nylon piston openings on the desktop, you can use hand control system flow. When the liquid concentration is high enough, the 18 valves can be opened to collect spirulina, or supply fresh liquid culture. Inside the wooden box, it is the core of the whole supply system consisting of a pipeline, a water pump, an air pump, a LED driver, a filter system, a heater, etc..

Such a set of waste heat and carbon dioxide microalgae photosynthesis lamp, not only can make the whole indoor decoration looks fresh and natural, but also special environmental protection and energy saving. If we can effectively develop, I believe it will bring great contribution to human society. The purpose of the two designers is designed to let the public began to attach importance to the power of micro-organisms, so that the resources to be developed.
