About Prometheus ILight د لاسي ر Lightا

پروژه هغه شیبه نیسي چې په کې پروتیمیس د خدایانو څخه پوهه غلا کوي نو هغه کولی شي دا د انسانانو سره شریک کړي. دا د محافظوي شیل په توګه کار کولو لپاره ډیزاین شوی. د څراغ څخه ر warmا ګرمه ده ځکه چې دا یوازې یوه برخه ده. کیوب د سرچینې استازیتوب کوي ، پخپله خدایان دي او د LEDs پټې سره نصب شوي ، سرې ر lightا رامینځته کوي ، د وجود او لید دوه کچو تر منځ سرحد.

The Recognition

About the د برونز A' Design Award جایزه

Prometheus ILight د لاسي ر Lightا د برونز A' Design Award جایزې ګټونکی دی، یوه ډېره ویاړلې پېژندنه چې غوره ډیزاینونو ته ورکول کېږي چې په خلاقیت، هوښیارۍ او زیرکتیا ځانګړي دي. د برونز ګټونکي ډېر ماهر او په حیرانوونکي ډول خلاقي آثار دي چې د خپلو ډیزاینرانو پراخ تجربه، تخیل او چارواکتیا تاییدوي. له Prometheus ILight د لاسي ر Lightا څخه تمه کېږي چې یو ډېر ارزښتناک، ستایل شوی او ګران شی وي چې په پام وړ ډول مسلکي او نوښتګر دی. دا د برونز A' Design Award جایزې ګټونکی ډیزاین په هنر، ساینس، ډیزاین او ټیکنالوژۍ کې غوره کړنلارې یو ځای کوي او د جزیاتو ته د پاملرنې له امله غوره دی. Prometheus ILight د لاسي ر Lightا اړتیاوې په ښکلي ډول پوره کوي، هیلو ته رسېږي، احساسات ځانته ملګري کوي او لیوالتیا راپاروي.

Unique Properties: The project is an interactive pendant light that captures the moment in which Prometheus stole knowledge from the Gods so he can share it with mankind.
It is designed using two basic geometrical shapes: the sphere and the cube.
-The sphere represents Prometheus light, the knowledge, it serves as a protective shell, releasing it only when the light is turned on.
The exterior is covered with wood veneer representing the view/projection of mankind, the first step in understanding.
The interior is covered with gold foil representing the complexity and true nature of knowledge. The light from the sphere is warm because it is only a fraction.
-The cube represents the source, the Gods themselves and is fitted with a strip of LEDs, generating cold light, pure light.
The light from the LEDs also represents the boundary between the two levels of existence/perception.
Dimensions & Packaging: 'Sphere: 60 cm diameter x 37.08 cm segment height
Cube: 14 cm x 14 cm x 14 cm
Tags: light, interactive, knowledge, prometheus, pendant light
Production Technology: - The 'sphere is 60 cm in diameter and deviated using the Golden Ratio, resulting a 37.08 cm in high segment. The position of the segment in relation to the sphere is also generated using the same ratio. The segment is then divided in 5 separate parts that open once the light is turned on and stay open until the light is turned off.
- The motion is generated using a spring return actuator, used in ventilation and air conditioning systems. 6 sec. Open / 2.5 sec. Close.
- The actuator is connected directly to a master spur gear that turns 5 pinions with a ratio of 3/1. The actuator starts at 0° and is limited, throw the master gear at 8.33° using a 3 point contact with the steel cable supports.
- The ceiling cup is a black acrylic cube; it is constructed using a ratio of 7/30 in relation to the sphere. It is fitted with a strip of LEDs and also houses: a 24 VAC transformer; a 24 VAC to 12 VDC Converter and a led potentiometer circuit.
- The base material used is acrylic with thickness raging from 2 mm to 8 mm, assembled using adhesive welding.
The exterior of the sphere is covered with 0.9 mm Wenge veneer.
The interior is covered with 24K gold foil that acts as insulation from the heat generated by the light bulb.
Design Challenge: The challenge in this design was finding a reliable and simple system to power the motion of the segments. The system required needed to be maintenance-free (no batteries, switches, sensors); simple and compact; reduced weight; to have a fluent motion and to be able to close the segments without the use of electrical power.
Inspiration: Inspired by Greek Mythology and the desire to create a unique and interactive project that would reflect the idea/concept of light, knowledge and mathematics.
Project Duration: This project is not available yet in true physical form. A working prototype will be available in the coming month.
Operation Flow: The project uses an actuator and spur gears to open the 5 segments once the light switch is turned on. When the power is turned off the spring incorporated in the actuator closes the segments without the use of electrical power.
