PV (Photo Voltaic cell) "dots" on a film to be applied to large
windows, will help
giant glass buildings to become PV towers.
originally I was not able to find the concept for "wrap
advertising" so wrote: "Like the printed windows with dots,
..."
The Arizona state tree?

Not this idea, but still solar walls

I think that was my shortest posting ever. I hope it's
not baked, or doesnt attract bones like my "Bone
Catcher" idea. |
|
| |
OK- see if you can see this croissant made of dots! [+] |
|
| |
Poly Vinyl? Palos Verdes? |
|
| |
3 extra words. Still the shortest. |
|
| |
Edited so normal people in normal zones will also
understand the idea. |
|
| |
"Photovoltaic" is one word, so you've got one more than you need. |
|
| |
Interesting, obvious, even readable! |
|
| |
Not certain that normal people hang out here, though... |
|

Strips would be easier than dots - got to get the electricity off the window somehow... |
|
| |
The wrapper material used for todays advertisements
is a connected sheet with perforated dots punched
into it. So there's no need for strips. There is a
continuous connection between the area. |
|
| |
AlxX - I needed to explain the P and V, so couldn't
use the one word. |
|
| |
In which case, surely the abbreviation would be "P"? |
|
| |
Why would you want to do that from a window of a
tower? ...oops - not the 'Deliberately'. |
|
| |
Hm, the tower design gives me a thought for a
variation on this. use the strips as per (neutrino)
but imbed them in the glass at about a 60 degree
angle from vertical. During the winter they will
intercept only a little of the light, letting most of
the sun in to warm the building. During the
summer, more of the sun will be intercepted by
the
PV generating more power and lowering the heat
load on the building. (ideal angle would depend
on lattitude, but there is probably some angle
that would be decent everywhere, if not, put
them between two panes on a mechanism that
can be adjusted once and left alone). |

Edited. I meant "wrap advertising" |
