Is it possible to use the
vibrational energy generated
from machinery in factories
or robotic factories to power
up the lights and save on
the lighting system costs?
Lighting in modern factories
costs hundreds of thousands
per year in each location.
These costs obviously are
a draw on the factory in more
ways than one. For United
States Factories to compete
in the real world they will
have to reduce costs. Currently
the costs for power in the
US since they are lower than
the rest of the world do help
as an advantage in the world
market. Yet they hardly offset
the low labor costs of foreign
manufacturing competitors.
I propose we use the vibrational
energy of the machinery along
with a little reflective optic
technology to light up all
modern day factories. Currently
there are some nifty micro-flashlights
being used which you can buy
which use a similar technique
and are available thanks to
the Everlight Flashlight technology
research lab. These smaller
flashlights work by shaking
them for about thirty seconds
and shine for about 6 minutes
and they shine quite bright
since they use a very bright
LED light. Here is a link
to this home use flashlight:

Now then, using this technology
and thinking out loud a little
as I type; What if we made
the floor, ceiling out of
sandwich sheets with perpendicular
tubes inside, But thinner
and lighter than the flashlight
tubes and not only one, but
hundreds and hundreds in the
size of a pallet lets say?
What if we hung or placed
all these square sandwich
sheets with the tubes inside
going facing the vibrations,
but a thin very strong film,
at high tension, being the
collector of the vibrations?
Inside the tubes little magnets,
which would bounce back and
forth along copper strings
running the length of the
tubes joined to a capacitor.
Then we would section the
room off and one isle lights
up the next and that isles
machinery’s vibrations
would lights up the next.
By partitioning in rows your
factory, the vibration would
be greater as it would not
disperse into the room, but
rather trapped between rows
partitioned by these sandwich
sheet pallet size squares
three high end to end for
the length of the factory
on each row.
We do not necessarily have
to use the Flashlite design,
as a matter of fact it is
too big for our needs, you
instead need hundreds of mini
units tied together, but we
license their technology.
Think of this scenario as
instead of communicating with
each other each like cells
in the body using light, each
tube with magnets would be
doing their little part of
lighting up a small space
ahead; each light working
on .2-.35 watts. Thus the
many are all giving a little
and thus, like ants in a colony
the resultant is one hell
of a lot.
Oh incidentally in this design
the vibrational taunt high
tension film will be reflective
so as to not waste the light
we create, but instead reflect
back and pick up any shadows
left from the single directional
lighting. Let there be light
said "Winslow" and
there was light, as a matter
of fact there was so much
light that no lighting power
was ever needed again in the
modern US Factory and his
ancestor Friedrich “Winslow’
Taylor smiled from beyond.
Further in my design; The
last row would use fiber optics
to deliver light to the first
row of LED lights or a series
of mirrors would bring it
all around full circle. The
whole thing now runs off the
vibrational energy of the
machines between the rows.
Do you like my concept?
One side of the sandwich
sheet collects the vibrations
sends those little magnetic
do hickeys senseless in the
tubes firing LED lights on
the other side, all about
.2 watts, but realize the
numbers of them. Your factory
is lit up like a Christmas
Tree; in studying the basis
for this concept please read

I cannot see why it would
not work? Also you could run
an RFID reader device for
tracking and there are LED
Chips now too, so you could
really do a lot here, save
huge costs.

You know this thing could
be so simple we could build
it for about $400.00 per square,
three high is $1200 for every
five feet. Take the length
of each row in feet and divide
by five and multiply times
$1200, then multiply the rows.
That would be the cost. Subtract
that from your yearly cost
to light the place and the
difference is the Companies
yearly savings on lighting
and that is on a scale of
12-month to ROI plus profit?
Thin vibration collector sheet,
composite frame, 144 tubes
per each 144 magnets inside
and 144 LED lights .25 watt
bulbs, we are not talking
very much cost really.
Again, just thinking out
loud, but how could it not
work? Although this is one
of thousands of unfinished
thoughts of concepts and designs,
we all know that each one
of us has indeed thought of
a better way of doing something.
Sometimes it is a method,
sometimes a design other times
a concept, yet all these thoughts
can lead to even greater discoveries
to help the forward progression
of mankind. Please do not
turn off you brain, open your
mind today. Think on this.
