Zangda Innovation Lab: butter lamps can be used as desk lamps

The multi-purpose butter lamp looks just more than an "umbrella". When the light can be collected, it can be "transformed" into a table lamp. The butter lamp is a kind of lighting equipment widely used in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The citizens living in Lhasa are all Can you buy cheap and durable butter lamps in Barkhor Street, but in the farming and pastoral areas? If the farmers and herdsmen have a power outage at home, or if they don't have enough ghee at home, what should be done at night? With this multi-functional butter lamp invented by the students of the School of Engineering of Tibet University, I believe that these problems can be solved.
There is an extra "umbrella" on the butter lamp.
There are more than 30 LED lights installed on the "Umbrella" and a USB port on the lamp holder.
Yesterday afternoon, the author came to the laboratory of the Institute of Engineering of Tibet University to "hunk the odd", but the "hunting" route has not yet begun, the author was "fudged" by Xiao Wei teacher. I saw Xiao Wei holding a look of butter lamps that were not strange. I smiled and told the author that this butter lamp was just bought from Barkhor Street. It is not strange at all, and there is nothing worth paying attention to. This makes the author wonder, in the contact with Xiao Wei teacher, the author knows that Xiao Wei is a rigorous person, generally does not do things that are not related to the experiment, and will not make a joke with a butter lamp. So the author carefully observed the butter lamp and found out its uniqueness. First of all, this butter lamp is about 25 cm high, made of brass and weighs about 1 kg. Under the pole, there is a circle of wood cardboard structure, like an umbrella, there are more than 30 LED lights installed on the "umbrella", and on the lamp holder, I found a USB interface, opened the lamp holder, and found The dense lines, and these lines are connected by a solar panel. What are the functions of these devices? This can not help but make people curious.
The butter lamp can be used as a table lamp. When the light is diffused, it is equivalent to the light bulb commonly used in the home. When the light is concentrated, it is equivalent to a table lamp.
Under the repeated questioning of the author, Teacher Xiao Wei finally couldn’t help but told the author the truth. Later, he also called Luo Duoji to come to the lab to reveal the secret. I saw that Rob Dolce took the match and lightly ignited the butter lamp. This is really disappointing. The butter lamp can be lit with an open flame. These common senses are known to even 3 year olds. What is unusual about this. Rob Dodge saw the author's face skeptical, and then plugged a plug of the butter lamp on the electric board. Hey, this is a bit interesting. The wick is on and the LED lights are starting to light up. Then Rob Dodge turned off the open flame and pulled out the plug. Tap a button on the lamp holder, "magic" started, and the LED light turned on again. "Magic" is still going on. Rob Dodge pushed the "umbrella" of the butter lamps up and down a few times. The light of the LED lights will spread and it will be amazing.
“In the farming and pastoral areas, if the ghee of the farmers and herdsmen is used up, or if the home is out of power, you can choose to put the multi-purpose butter lamps in the sun to save the solar energy during the day, and then use them at night.” The LED light lines you saw just now spread. And gathering, when the light spreads, it is equivalent to the commonly used light bulbs in the home. When the light is concentrated, it is equivalent to a table lamp. Children in the farming and pastoral areas can read and write under this unique table lamp. Said Rob Dorje.
The competition won the second place in the country. This design effectively utilized the abundant energy resources available in Tibet.
The mystery was finally unveiled, and it was really eye-opening. According to reports, in the first Ke Rui Cup-College LED Lighting Design and Innovation Competition in 2009, the multi-functional butter lamps independently invented by the students of the College of Engineering of Tibet University won the first place in the mainland and the second in the country (the first in the country) Taiwan University students obtained).



“The comment given by the judges at the time was: The design is characterized by the use of a small circle of reflective paper instead of a huge reflector to achieve the convergence of light, not to waste energy, and to achieve efficient lighting with a small number of LED bulbs. The number of LED bulbs is saved. When adjusting the inclination angle of the inverted cone body, the design uses the basic principle of the umbrella, and adjusts the sliding ring on the shaft of the lamp body up and down to realize the change of the inclination angle of the cone lamp body, which is convenient for different The demand for lighting effects by the crowd, followed by solar photovoltaic power generation to solve the problem of mobile phone charging and lighting power, using the smart design of the LED light body to save energy and effectively use the light, the design also uses solar power to effectively use Tibet The existing rich energy," Rob Dodge said.
