About Bionic Photosynthetic Balla Cuirtín

Is balla cuirtín é an Fótaisintéis Bhianach a dhéanann fótaisintéis shaorga. Déanann an dearadh aithris ar fhréamhacha, gais, féitheacha agus fíochán duilleog na bplandaí. Priontáiltear na féitheacha a iompraíonn uisce le teicneolaíocht 3D taobh istigh den fhráma. Soláthraíonn na cainéil seo uisce don fhótaisintéis agus baintear an leacht a tháirgtear ina dhiaidh sin. Coinníonn an fráma trí shraith: clúdach gloine chruaite, fráma cille láir agus pláta íochtair. Coinníonn cealla saorga sa lár-shraith clóraplaistigh taobh istigh de bhithsheicní. Téann solas na gréine agus dé-ocsaíd charbóin isteach sna cealla, agus scaoiltear ocsaigin amach san aer.

The Recognition

About the Duais Iarainn A' Design Award

Bhuaigh an dearadh Bionic Photosynthetic Balla Cuirtín Duais Iarainn A' Design Award, aitheantas gradamach a bhronntar ar dhea-dhearaí a chomhlíonann na riachtanais ghairmiúla agus thionsclaíocha a bhíonn á n-éileamh ó chruthuithe a ndearnadh go maith iad. Léiríonn buaiteoirí Iarainn scil mhór, speisialtóireacht ard, tuiscint saineolaí agus cumas cruthaitheach a gcruthaitheoirí. Táthar ag súil go mbeidh an dearadh Bionic Photosynthetic Balla Cuirtín ina chruthú a bhfuil an-mheas air, a n-ardaítear agus a ghráitear atá praiticiúil agus nuálach. Comhtháthaíonn an dearadh seo a bhuaigh Duais Iarainn A' Design Award na cleachtais is fearr sa tionscal agus tá saintréithe teicniúla inniúla aige nasctha le heolas agus le tallann. Tá meas ar an dearadh Bionic Photosynthetic Balla Cuirtín as a dhúthracht agus dearadh é chun feabhsuithe cáilíochta beatha a sholáthar a chabhraíonn leis an domhan a dhéanamh ina áit níos fearr.

Unique Properties
In this artificial photosynthesis system, the system bionics the roots, stems, veins, and leaf tissue of plants.

In the bionics of the stems and leaves, the design use the function of 3D printing. To print out the veins of the water in the frame of the curtain wall, which includes the water needed before photosynthesis, and post-photosynthesis liquid sending away. There are three layers of tissue in the frame, the upper cover (tempered glass), the cell frame(middle frame), the lower plate.
Dimensions & Packaging
H 150cm x W 150cm x D 6cm in triangle shape.

Production Technology
In SAPS, the system bionic the roots, stems, veins, and leaf of plants by 3D printing, which includes the water needed before photosynthesis, and post-photosynthesis liquid sending away. The liquid waste containing glucose can be supplied with other biological nutrients or as a fuel. There are three layers of tissue in the frame, the tempered glass level, the cell frame, and the artificial cells in the middle. The cell contains package with the bio-membranes to contain chloroplasts and all tissues that need to run photosynthesis, also it transfers solar light and CO2 in and let the O2 release to the nature.
Design Challenge
Integration with building and finding the most proper plant to do experiment.
Research
The carbon dioxide consumption unit is metrics per square centimeter, and the numerical unit is 7.21. The photosynthesis efficiency of using water, the high dissolved oxygen molecular water efficiency is The best. The efficiency of white spectrum is highest in nighttime spectrum selection. In this 24-hour photosynthesis process. It can absorb nearly a half metric ton of carbon dioxide a day, which is the amount absorbed by one half-hectare broad-leaved forest for one-day photosynthesis. This curtain wall can reduce the carbon footprint of the building. If it is sustainable, they will restore the earth's atmospheric system like a forest.
Inspiration
If the idea and S.A.P.S. system integrate the characteristics of plants into the building construction materials, the system will imitate the roots, stems, and leaves; giving water, transporting to the leaves, and operating photosynthesis. Then the buildings with S.A.P.S. will be like the leaves of a tree, day and night to operating photosynthesis, continuously reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Project Duration
2019 from Spring to summer in Taipei, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
In the bionics of the stems and leaves, the design use the function of 3D printing. The design print the veins of the water in the frame of the curtain wall, which includes the water needed before photosynthesis, and post-photosynthesis liquid sending away. The liquid waste (the design call it energy liquid containing glucose, which can be supplied with other biological nutrients or as a fuel).
