Am primit astazi un email ce se voia o informare, dar care este indirect o reclama la un producator (si site-ul sau) de lapte. Pentru ca mi-a placut si prezentarea site-ului, si ideea producatorului de a ne “dota” orasul cu dozatoare de lapte la colt de strada (ambitioasa ideea!), dar si primul articol scris despre acest subiect (din care va dau mai jos si un fragment) am decis sa va arat si voua despre ce e vorba; asadar www.fermadelapte.ro si urmatorul fragment din textul de Lucian Avramescu.

Glow-in-the-dark light bulb trapped in a solid acrylic brick / designed by Alvaro Catalan De Ocon
Recharges from energy in natural light during the day. Glows at night. Made with a real light bulb!
85X85X105mm

Glow-in-the-dark* pigment trapped inside a real light bulb (just like the ones you have at home). Then the light bulb is encased in a solid block of Acrylic resin. The mysterious optical effect is caused by light diffracting in the tiny space between the glass of the light bulb and the resin, the space forms when the resin shrinks by a tiny amount during the production possess. The polished surface gives a jewel like quality to the object. In a darkened room or at night the Glow Brick comes to life with a tranquil and subtle glow emanating from the pigment inside the light bulb.

*The technical term for the glow-in-the-dark is “photoluminescence” this is a process in which energy absorbed by a substance is released relatively slowly in the form of light.
