Street lamps may be laid off? Holland highway will shine

In Holland, a 500 meter long road, the traditional street lights disappear, replaced by a series of day to absorb sunlight, night light road marking.

As if driving through the fairy tale. "A media in Holland wrote.

The 500 meter long luminous highway is part of the Oss N329 highway in Holland, which has been added with fluorescent paint to paint the road. These paint "charge" in the light of the day, can continue to emit 8 hours of light at night. As a result, it is expected to greatly reduce street lights and energy consumption.

In fact, as early as in 2012, Roosegaarde studio has demonstrated this design, but because of the complexity of government documents, until now we see the finished product.

The studio's founder Daan Roosegaarde said, the future they will give the weather characteristics in light of highway, road marking paint and add color change with temperature, when the temperature drops to a certain extent, snow signs will appear, in order to inform the driver of the road may be frozen. When the temperature goes up, these snowflakes will disappear.

However, there are still challenges to promote the comprehensive promotion of luminous road:

The road paint durability has not been fully evaluated in practical application.

The cloudy and rainy days paint to absorb enough light?

The winter night long, 8 hours to meet the demand.

The government's attitude and efficiency. In fact, this 500 meter luminous road a few months ago has been ready, but because the local government has not been delayed until now approved.

In any case, we all pay tribute to the pioneering work of Daan Roosegaarde. In an interview with China last year, Roosegaarde introduced the source of inspiration for the luminous highway:

The idea originated from the underwater world. We spend a lot of energy and a lot of equipment to get light, but why can't we just look at how the jellyfish shine?

In addition to light road, Roosegaarde also show other amazing ideas. For example, he was in a dance hall in Rotterdam, the laying of the floor, the floor of the bulb can shine in accordance with the footsteps of dancers. In addition, he also designed the production of Intimacy 2 fashion, clothes will change the transparency with your heartbeat. When your heart beats faster, your clothes will become more and more transparent.
