Glow plates are sheets of glass or plastic that "glow" when light is supplied to one of their edges. The light source for a glow plate can be artificial, such as fluorescent light, or natural, with sunlight being directly exposed to the plate or fed through a fiber-optic system. A joint effort between Florida State University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory is focused on the design of a "spiral bio-reactor light sheet", which consists of a plexiglas sheet that has been micro-etched on one side and rolled into a spiral shape. Aside from aesthetic or utilitarian lighting purposes, much interest in using glow plates as a source of light comes from recent developments in algal cultivation. ==External links== *(Algae used to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions ) The energy blog *(Fabrication of spiral bio-reactor light sheets ) Student abstracts: engineering at ORNL 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glow plate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
