SmartLight, Lighting and Energy Storage

Interesting new technology that we might see on our vessels.

A pair of University of Cincinnati researchers has seen the light – a bright, powerful light – and it just might change the future of how building interiors are brightened.

In fact, that light comes directly from the sun. And with the help of tiny, electrofluidic cells and a series of open-air "ducts," sunlight can naturally illuminate windowless work spaces deep inside office buildings (ED note: and our boats)a nd excess energy can be harnessed, stored and directed to other applications.

The innovative solar technology "would change the equation for energy," according to UC researchers.

I did not see that, but rather interesting all of the comments added to that youtube presentation.

Wonder why they chose only to refute the Philippine case, not the original Brazil model?....and others around the world?
