Thanks John, I appreciate your interest and suggesions. http://brainreactions.net/brainstorms/2707 29268 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 16:20:04 11. I don't know how large or expensive the equipment is, but if it could be made into a assemble-it-yourself package and would probably sell very well in areas experiencing a total or partial eclipse of the sun. We had a total eclipse in 1999 here in the UK and for a few days the country went eclipse crazy. http://brainreactions.net/brainstorms/2707 29123 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 07:42:42 10. Offer it as a feature in observatories open to the public http://brainreactions.net/brainstorms/2707 29122 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 07:40:51 9. Hire the equipment out to science museums. http://brainreactions.net/brainstorms/2707 29121 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 07:40:31 8. It would be interesting to see this used in education. I'd imagine children would find building one very exciting. http://brainreactions.net/brainstorms/2707 29120 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 07:39:36 7. and the filament of 200W bulb. To me it appears that this assembly of optical lenses mounted in cardboard causes susbtantial filtration of light (and heat) and allows a look at the internal structure of light source. The friend has been interviewed in the past by senior scientists and the press but somehow the things have not moved forward for him. My endeavour is to provide him any help that I can. Thanks once again. http://brainreactions.net/brainstorms/2707 28964 Fri, 06 Mar 2009 02:37:08 6. Thank you friends for the suggestions. I would like to post some more information. I am a doctor by profession and donot know much physics. The friend who has developed this is a book binder by professsion who doesnot even have had secondary education, cannot speak English and does not have a telephone for quick contact. I am likely to meet hime next in first week of May. So John, I cannot send you any photos as of nw. However, I did myself saw the demonstration for corona of sun (contd) http://brainreactions.net/brainstorms/2707 28963 Fri, 06 Mar 2009 02:33:25 5. Brain, could you post up a photo of the equipment or the results? http://brainreactions.net/brainstorms/2707 28950 Wed, 04 Mar 2009 09:48:08 4. A friend of mine passes on this possibility: "You could use it as a slow speed camera. You just need to had blue print paper, get the exposer to the right time length and you can develope the paper with amonia fumes. The paper is cheap and it would produce a very large picture. Hi contrast items would be easier to get the exposure correct on." http://brainreactions.net/brainstorms/2707 28944 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:14:49 3. Sell to restaurants for creating romantic candle-light dinner tables. http://brainreactions.net/brainstorms/2707 28932 Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:06:45 2. Perhaps this device can be used in wedding exhibition displays to show details of diamond jewelry to prospective buyers in their magnified glory. http://brainreactions.net/brainstorms/2707 28931 Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:06:18 1. A bigger version of this device can be used to create a Solar Observatory where school teachers, families and kids can come and learn about the Sun. Group Tours from schools can be arranged for a fee per person. http://brainreactions.net/brainstorms/2707 28930 Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:05:30
