CoolInfoGraphics - Three Graphic Concepts related to Solar Power -
As my concept relates to the use of solar power instead of electricity for a hydroponic plant system or a workspace, this concept strongly supports the use of solar power instead of electricity. The suns energy can be used instead of the currents methods being used providing the world with an energy source that is renewable rather than using coal or oil.
Similarly to the image above this InfoGraphic displays information on the effect using solar power will have on the environment, it provides an understanding that it is better for human kind as well as the environment and changing power source will only benefit for the future.
This graph represents the different power sources being used now and looking ahead to the future, natural sources are soon going to take over the market and provide clean energy to the world. This means that non-renewable sources could be spared for more important circumstances and the world could be a more eco-friendly environment.
The Pachube feed from the students of ARCH1391 I have selected was one about how light feeds into a building and how the building can in turn keep the natural light levels at a reasonable intensity. To achieve this in the case of the feed, circular shutters are used to account for the amount of light, and to further these studies I have chosen to create a room that has solar powered circular shutters that adjust to the levels of sunlight to suit the activity within, whether it be for plants or for people in a workspace, etc.
Pachube Live Feed - Arduino Light Sensor Feed - ARCH1391
SWOT Analysis - Pachube Live Feed Strengths - The feed clearly displays the concept behind the ARCH1391 assignment through the live feed and shows how the sensors relate to the task at hand.
Weaknesses - The feed is currently frozen and has been for quite some time, so the information displayed might not be reliable for current situations.
Opportunities - The feed has numerous opportunities as it could be used in a variety of places to display light usage in commercial areas, as well as power plants to attempt to reduce the amount of power used in the community through lighting. If the feed was also updated it would give a more reliable result to the questions being asked.
Threats - There are a lot of other feeds with similar information being demonstrated at this current time and most are still live provided current information on this topic.
The idea of this Video is to show how the continued development of Atomic Weapons is causing the state of "Pure War" within society around the world. The sensors represent areas of a Nuclear Power Plant and Reactor that are being monitored by external forces in an anticipation of Nuclear Warfare. The sensors detect people near them making people glow so the people using them can monitor movement within the Nuclear Zone.
This post demonstrates my idea of "Pure War!" piecing together in SketchUp, my idea of this topic was influenced by both my Pachube feed, along with a few other feeds that were related to motion, and motion detecting (unfortunately these feeds were mostly all Frozen). I pursued this idea as I believe it was a perfect example of "Pure War!" in our current world as well as in the near future.
This sensor is heavily involved in my final Crysis Environment and relates to both the topic "Pure War!" and my previous Pachube live feed. The idea of "Sensors in the Garden" influenced the idea in my mind of monitoring activity in an outdoor environment, whether it be monitoring temperature or the movement of beings. To relate this to "Pure War!" I have chosen to base my Environment on a Nuclear Base that whereby America are anticipated Nuclear warfare.
