Open Brainstorms
Possible uses of this equipment
A friend, woh has received only primary education, has made an assembly of lenses mounted in cardboard which allows reflection of sun on a paper screen. One can see the image of sun, its corona and possibly sunspots. Using the same equipment, I could see the filament of a 200W bulb clearly. It appears to me that eqipmet causes filtrastion of light which and allows to visualize details of light source. What can such equipment be used for?

I don't know how large or expensive the equipment is, but if it could be made into a assemble-it-yourself package and would probably sell very well in areas experiencing a total or partial eclipse of the sun. We had a total eclipse in 1999 here in the UK and for a few days the country went eclipse crazy.

It would be interesting to see this used in education. I'd imagine children would find building one very exciting.

and the filament of 200W bulb. To me it appears that this assembly of optical lenses mounted in cardboard causes susbtantial filtration of light (and heat) and allows a look at the internal structure of light source. The friend has been interviewed in the past by senior scientists and the press but somehow the things have not moved forward for him. My endeavour is to provide him any help that I can. Thanks once again.

Thank you friends for the suggestions. I would like to post some more information. I am a doctor by profession and donot know much physics. The friend who has developed this is a book binder by professsion who doesnot even have had secondary education, cannot speak English and does not have a telephone for quick contact. I am likely to meet hime next in first week of May. So John, I cannot send you any photos as of nw. However, I did myself saw the demonstration for corona of sun (contd)

A friend of mine passes on this possibility: "You could use it as a slow speed camera. You just need to had blue print paper, get the exposer to the right time length and you can develope the paper with amonia fumes.
The paper is cheap and it would produce a very large picture. Hi contrast items would be easier to get the exposure correct on."

Perhaps this device can be used in wedding exhibition displays to show details of diamond jewelry to prospective buyers in their magnified glory.

A bigger version of this device can be used to create a Solar Observatory where school teachers, families and kids can come and learn about the Sun. Group Tours from schools can be arranged for a fee per person.
