Abstract

The invention relates to a lighting unit used for the lighting up of households, monasteries, churches, physics laboratories and as a transmission and receiving antenna for γ waves. The invention solves the technical problem by providing an optical arrangement consisting in triangular prisms, oriented in the shape of a Christian cross (three equal arms and a double arm), three of these forming a tetrahedron having on its top the fourth cross, whereby the light is reflected or refracted, resulting in some special physical effects. When used as a transmission or receiving antenna, the lighting unit is placed on a supporting plate, under this being placed three optical disks, divided in three equal sections corresponding to one of three essential colours (blue = B, red = R, yellow = Y), said disks being able to rotate. A light-source is centrally placed in the supporting plate.

Description

LIGHTING UNIT

Technical Field

The invention relates to a lighting unit for multiple purposes, such as households, monasteries, churches, historical monuments, physics laboratories lighting up, in order to achieve special effects, primarily as a result of its shape and basic material, also used as a transmission and receiving antenna and as an amplifier for y waves. The lighting unit is characterised by that when it is made from optical glass or quartz, it generates a light radiation which covers the entire spectrum of light, based upon the combination of the three essential colours (B=biue, R = rβd, Y = yellow). Using the lighting unit, a number of effects may be achieved, such as the light effect, due to its components which provide an optical arrangement with a number of triangular prisms, processed in such a manner that allows a particular arrangement, represented by four crosses, each cross being similar to the Christian cross (with three equal arms and a double arm), three of them forming together a tetrahedron with their vertical arms and an equilateral triangle with their horizontal arms, the fourth one being placed on the top of the tetrahedron defined by the other three crosses. The said tetrahedron is placed on a supporting plate provided with three openings in the shape of an equilateral triangle, of the same size as the triangular prisms, the trajectory of the light being from a light-source in the supporting plate, through the openings in the supporting plate and then the tetrahedron up to the top cross. Between the light-source and each of the optical prisms defining the tetrahedron, there is an optical disk consisting in three equal sections, corresponding to one of the three colours previously mentioned, said disks being able to rotate as driven-geared wheels, as they are connected to a driving wheel fastened to the shaft of an electric motor having variable gyratory direction and revolutions per minute, according to the intended effect. A particular processing and arrangement is required for the optical prisms and crosses, due to the characteristics of the quartz, according to the intended aim, either as transmission antenna or receiving antenna for ψ waves, the amplification function being constant in both circumstances.

The purpose of the invention is to provide a lighting unit which allows special physical effects, combining three essential colours (blue = B, red = R, yellow = Y).

Summary of the invention

The invention solves the technical problem by providing an optical arrangement consisting in triangular prisms, oriented in the shape of a Christian cross (three equal arms and a double arm), the field of quartz providing the same shape, four of these crosses defining the main element of the lighting unit, whereby reflections and refractions, as well as compositions and decompositions of the three essential colours take place, thereby ensuring the visualization of the entire spectrum of light.

Detailed Description

According to this invention, the lighting unit consists in optical prisms of various materials with optical properties, of which quartz is the most important, said prisms being in an equilateral triangle shape and being joined as a Christian cross. The jointing of three crosses having the same shape defines a tetrahedron presenting on its top a fourth cross, the lighting unit joined in such way being able to be used also as a transmission and receiving antenna for waves. When used as a transmission antenna, represented in FIG. 1 , the crosses composing the tetrahedron of FIG. 5, having on its top the transmission cross of FIG. 6, are in the shape of the cross represented in FIGS. 3 and 4. When used as a receiving antenna, represented in FIG. 2, the crosses composing the receiving tetrahedron of FIG. 9, on its top being placed the receiving cross of FIG.10, are in the shape of the cross represented in FIGS. 7 and 8. When used as a transmission antenna, the lighting unit is placed on a supporting plate, represented in FIG .11 , under this one being placed three optical disks oriented under an angle of 120? each of these being divided in three equal sections corresponding to one of three colours (blue = B, red = R, yellow = Y); these disks are able to rotate as driven-geared wheels, as they are connected to a driving wheel fastened to the shaft of an electic motor (E.M), having variable gyratory direction and revolutions per minute, according to the intended effect. The iight-source required for filtering by the three optical disks has the reference L.S. in FIG. 11 , being centrally placed in comparison with the triangular slot in the supporting plate. The optical disks have similar size and rotational speed, and the colours forming the three sections are distributed according to FIGS. 1 and 12. When used as a receiving antenna, the lighting unit is placed on a supporting plate represented in FIG. 12, the difference, in comparison with the transmission antenna, residing in the positioning of the triangular slots (oriented with the top towards the center in comparison with the orientation with the top towards the interior).
