Sitting in a cabin with a nice fire going but no more candels or lamp fuel left to do a spot of something in the darker corners?
Pull out the bush nite lites from the fireplace and place them in those dark spots then, while the metal (Gold, Lead etc...) cools around the crushed quartze crystals embedded,
a light slowly radiates from the bush nite lite while the next lot warms up.
Plates, bars or what ever shape you choose, this extra luggage could add to your outdoor experiences.
Buy a set today and brighten up your wild excursions.

i don't quite understand. your idea is a burning stick? |
|
| |
@ benfrost.....No, the idea is quartz crystals embedded within a soft metallic material which is subjected to heat and consequently expands. |
|
| |
Upon cooling, the metal applies pressure to the quartz thereby inducing pezielectric discharges which naturally produces light. |
|
| |
The action will continue untill the metal has reaquired its memory and so require re-heating to operate again. |
|
| |
I really dont see why the idea merits bones, it works. |
|
| |
I think that the description as written is too vague for readers to understand the plausibility and potential of the idea. If you re-cast the posting so that the core idea is clear maybe the votes will follow. |
|
| |
I voted for it but probably wouldn't have had I not been able to read your added clarifying annotation. |
|
| |
I think the burning stick would yield more light, and would be readily available when camping. |
|

I was looking forward to 'camp' night-lights.</br>
sorry, bone from me, for the vague use of piezo electricity without any backup and for suggesting we use gold and lead both of which are expensive (and lead of course not being that much fun to ingest). |

Buy some candles and transparent plastic cups andbrighten up your wild excursions. (at least, that's what I did on new year's eve). |

I don't see how you could use the light
produced by the quartz if it will be
encased in some type of molten metal,
maybe a different approach where you
would use the energy produced by the
quartz crystals to charge a capacitor and
power a L.E.D. |
