Scientists hope their experiments with Synlight will illuminate ways to tap into that wasted energy. The experiment is not without its risks and costs, however. “If you went in the room when it ...

In all, the sun is made up of a honeycomb of 149 spotlights, which together make the structure known as "Synlight". Inidividually, they are the kinds of xenon short-arc lamps used for cinema ...

But the Synlight researchers hope to bypass the electricity stage and instead use the immense heat generated by the experiment to set off a reaction to produce hydrogen fuel. Mr Hoffschmidt said ...

Germany recently completed its enormous Synlight project. Towering three stories high, the project is the world's largest collection of film project spotlights in a single room, and the company be ...

It’s called Synlight, and it’s made of 149 gigantic spotlights that shoot out a combined light intensity 10,000 times greater than the sunlight we feel on Earth. Synlight’s 149 spotlights ...

It's part of the "Synlight" project, which aims to split water molecules into its component hydrogen and oxygen atoms using the power of the sun. Hydrogen can be used as a green fuel source since ...

It’s being called Synlight. The lamps are all heavily-focused in one direction with cone-shaped reflectors similar to those found inside of flashlights. More importantly, Synlight is being kept inside ...

With 149 high-powered lamps, the Synlight system produces light about 10,000 times the intensity of natural sunlight on the Earth's surface. When concentrated on a single spot, the lamps can ...

Don’t lean against the light switch at the Synlight building in Jülich, Germany—if you do, things might get rather hotter than you can cope with. The new facility is home to what researchers ...

The giant honeycomb-like setup of 149 spotlights — officially known as "Synlight" — in Juelich, about 30 kilometers (19 miles) west of Cologne, uses xenon short-arc lamps normally found in ...

Making its public debut today in Jülich, North Rhine-Westphalia, the three-storey "Synlight" electrically-powered sun lamp will be used for various research projects, including developing ...
