Isadora was famous somewhere around 1908 for putting up a blue curtain, and she would stand with her hands over her
solar
plexus and she would wait, and she would wait, and then, she would move.
Here, this animation is zooming in onto our
solar
system.
I wanted to know this because I've been starting businesses since I was 12 years old when I sold candy at the bus stop in junior high school, to high school, when I made
solar
energy devices, to college, when I made loudspeakers.
However, even as we approach cost parity, the majority of those who own
solar
earn much more than the average American.
We're connecting neighborhoods to community
solar
and spearheading community-led smart home research and installation programs to help families bring down their energy bills.
This box we're in, the
solar
system is a box.
There'll be a satellite called TESS that will discover planets outside of our
solar
system.
And it may, for the first time ever, be capable of finding life on planets outside of our
solar
system.
We've learned in the 20th century that the universe is expanding and that our own
solar
system is not at the center of that expansion.
And it'll form probably a
solar
system, or whatever it forms.
Our
solar
system is in a stable orbit around a supermassive black hole that resides at the center of the Milky Way, at a safe distance of 25,000 light-years.
The setting for our next exploration using the same design principles was the
solar
system.
I would like to demonstrate for the first time in public that it is possible to transmit a video from a standard off-the-shelf LED lamp to a
solar
cell with a laptop acting as a receiver.
And this is where the
solar
cell and the LED come in.
And this is why I have been looking into
solar
cells and
solar
panels.
A
solar
cell absorbs light and converts it into electrical energy.
This is why we can use a
solar
cell to charge our mobile phone.
But now we need to remember that the data is encoded in subtle changes of the brightness of the LED, so if the incoming light fluctuates, so does the energy harvested from the
solar
cell.
This means we have a principal mechanism in place to receive information from the light and by the
solar
cell, because the fluctuations of the energy harvested correspond to the data transmitted.
We have shown in the lab that we can receive up to 50 megabytes per second from a standard, off-the-shelf
solar
cell.
This is a standard, off-the-shelf
solar
cell; it is connected to the laptop.
And also we have an instrument here to visualize the energy we harvest from the
solar
cell.
This is because the
solar
cell already harvests light from the ambient light.
So the
solar
cell, for a moment, is harvesting energy from this artificial light source.
I turn it on ... So we harvest energy with the
solar
cell.
But in order to prove the point, I can block the light of the
solar
cell.
So that is to show that the
solar
cell acts as a receiver.
And let me put the handkerchief over the
solar
cell.
This means, despite the blockage, there's sufficient light coming through the handkerchief to the
solar
cell, so that the
solar
cell is able to decode and stream that information, in this case, a high-definition video.
What's really important here is that a
solar
cell has become a receiver for high-speed wireless signals encoded in light, while it maintains its primary function as an energy-harvesting device.
