Space Shuttle Night Launch Lighting for NASA
Generally we do not launch Space Shuttles at night, we have but not usually, yet we have the capacity to light up Cape Canaveral like a Christmas Tree and Florida Light and Power is not going to complain. I propose that we cut the lighting costs out of the pattern. Here are my thoughts, first leave the current lighting system hooked up but as soon as the rockets are lit up, turn it off and allow the vibrational energy to light up the entire NASA Launch Site. As the main engines fire up, the vibrational energy can be felt on the Richter Scale, lets harvest this energy, all of it. How so you ask?
By placing large groupings of 4 x 8 sandwich sheets with a taunt film on the vibrational side and small copper lined tubes, hundreds of them running perpendicular to the sheets, with magnets inside bouncing back and forth. These magnets will charge a capacitor and be hooked up to an LED lighting system using fiber optics or reflectors, each one hooked up to a .2 to .5 watt light. With hundreds of thousands of lights hooked up in a composite format it will light up the entire area.
Currently this technology is being used in those little flashlights you see advertised on television that you shake and they light, but you never need batteries. This idea of lighting up the NASA Launch Site is using that technology on a larger scale with miniaturized parts making up the guts between the sandwich sheets. Let there be light, thru vibrational energy and there was. Maybe we can go back to the Moon using less money? May be we can light up the Moon Colony for the return trip. Think on it.
