    Lysande design - att skapa ljus utan elektricitet2013Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This diploma work (22,5 ECTS) at bachelor level is made by Natalie Pålsson, student at the Product design program at Malmö University, in the spring of 2013. The project explored the possibility of creating light without electricity. The purpose of the project was to highlight the problem of the high energy consumption of our current lightsourses. The project had a biomimetic approach and a thourough study of the subject was made. Biomimicry means that designers learn and get inspired by nature in their development of products. A study about natural light was made, especially bioluminescence, since that was the choice of lightsource. Based on an interview with Lars Olof Björn, a retired proffessor in Biology, it was decided to use living organisms in the lantern, since bioluminescence is difficult to produce chemically. The research regarding bioluminescence showed that there is a bioluminescent algae, called dinoflagellate, that would be suitable for use as a light source. Dinoflagellates emit a bioluminescent light when they are put in motion, which was used as a sort of on and off switch in the product. The project resulted in the lantern Lumi oh! A lantern, shaped like an hour glass which looks like two drops, that forms a swirl where they meet. When the lantern is turned upside down, the alge swirls down and starts to glow, for as long as they are set in motion. The result of the project was to be illustrated as a product concept and is presented as a prototype that shows the form but not the function.
