Domestic Lighting
The new "bio-light"
concept designed by Dutch electronics company Philips creates light in
the same way that bioluminescent living organisms like fireflies and
glow worms do.
The phenomenon of
bioluminescence is created by a chemical reaction where an enzyme called
luciferase interacts with a light-emitting molecule called luciferin.
In the bio-light a
collection of hand-blown jars -- held in place by a steel frame --
contain a measure of bioluminescent bacteria which glow green when fed
methane gas -- in this case through individual silicon tubes routed
through a household waste digester.
Harnessing these biological techniques could help redefine how we consume energy in the home, says Philips.
