Singapore -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/27/2021 -- Sunlight is something that you wouldn't expect to find underground. However, researchers from Nanyang Technical University (NTU) in Singapore have managed to do just that. Their innovation is designed to harvest sunlight from locations above ground and then relay it to underground spaces that are reliant on artificial light. This is made possible as a result of design that mimics the way a magnifying glass works when it is used to focus sunlight on a specific area. A prototype of the device that can be used to do this has been created by the team at NTU, made from an acrylic ball, computer-chip assisted motors and one plastic fibre optic cable. The idea was to bring the innovation to life using materials that would be simple to replicate and which would be easily available off the shelf. The way the device works is to make the acrylic ball a solar concentrator so that parallel rays of sunlight form at sharp focus opposite it. The unique invention could be transformative in future building design.
