About Bionic Photosynthetic Balla Cùirteir

Is balla cùirteir a th' ann am Bionic Photosynthetic a nì fotoisintéis fuadain. Tha an dealbhadh ag aithris freumhaichean, gasan, cuisleagan agus figh dhuilleagan lusan. Tha na cuisleagan a ghiùlaineas uisge air an clò-bhualadh 3D taobh a-staigh na frèama. Bidh na sианaidhean seo a' solar uisge airson fotoisintéis agus a' toirt air falbh an lionn a thèid a dhèanamh às a dhèidh sin. Tha an fhrèam a' cumail trì sreathan: còmhdach glainne teinnichte, frèam cealla meadhanach agus truinnsear ìochdrach. Bidh ceallan fuadain san t-sreath mheadhanach a' cumail clorofailean taobh a-staigh bith-mheamranan. Bidh solas na grèine agus carbon dà-ogsaid a' dol a-steach do na ceallan, agus bidh ogsaidean air a leigeil a-mach dhan adhar.

About the Duais Iarainn A' Design Award

Tha Bionic Photosynthetic Balla Cùirteir air Duais Iarainn A' Design Award a bhuannachadh, aithneachadh urramach a bheirear do dhealbhaidhean math a choinnicheas ris na riatanasan proifeiseanta is gnìomhachais a thathar a' sùileachadh bho chruthachaidhean a chaidh an dealbhadh gu math. Tha buannaichean Iarainn a' nochdadh sgil mhòr, speisealachadh àrd, tuigse eòlaiche agus comas cruthachail an luchd-cruthachaidh. Thathar an dùil gum bi Bionic Photosynthetic Balla Cùirteir na chruthachadh air a bheil mòran meas, ion-mholta agus gràdhach a tha practaigeach agus ùr-ghnàthach. Tha an dealbhadh seo a bhuannaich Duais Iarainn A' Design Award a' cur nan cleachdaidhean as fheàrr sa ghnìomhachas còmhla agus tha feartan teignigeach comasach aige ceangailte ri eòlas-dèanamh agus tàlant. Tha meas air Bionic Photosynthetic Balla Cùirteir airson a dhùrachd agus chaidh a dhealbhadh gus leasachaidhean càileachd beatha a thoirt seachad a chuidicheas le bhith a' dèanamh an t-saoghail na àite nas fheàrr.

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.
Tags: biomimicry, green, SAPS, material, architecture
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).
