haptic actuators:

Radiant Heating

Hydronic radiant oor heating systems use a

boiler to heat up hot water and a pump to circulate the

hot water in plastic pipes installed in a concrete slab.

The pipes, embedded in the oor, carry heated water

that conduct warmth to the surface of the oor where

it broadcasts energy to the room.

Separated radiant heat zones are typically con-

trolled by one thermostat and served by a manifold

which distributes the ow of warm water to the indi-

vidual circuits of tubing within each zone.

Hydronic heating offers heat that does not make

noise or give off uneven heat, as a forced air system

would. Again unlike forced air systems, the hydronic

system warms people and objects rather than just air

so one can leave the door ajar without worrying about

losing heat or becoming cold. On the downside, it is

not recommended the radiant system double-up for

cooling or cleaning the air the way a forced-air sys-

tem can. Although it depends on the application, is

it usually admitted that radiant heating systems are

20 to 40% more energy efcient than other heating

systems. Almost any typr of ooring can be installed

ontop of this system.

The main drawback is that this heating system

is not instantaneous.

haptic actuators:

Electric resistance heaters

This type of heating can be either very appro-

priately used, or very inefcient. In conjunction with

a well insulsated area, or a project such as a passive

house, this type f heater is super efcient because it

does away with an HVAC system and its accompany-

ing inefciencies. It heats small spaces quickly. And,

it directly heats people and objects, not the air.

this system can also be used in conjunction

with a raiant heating system. Here, it can ne-tune

the temperature in a local area and the radiant system

can maintain a threshold temperature. Also, this type

of heating can be used to super heat areas of raiant

pipe heating.

Ultimately, a thermoelectric heater is making

one more, and therefor inefcient conversion of en-

ergy. PLants generally use natural gas to generate

electricity and this, in turn, is converting that to heat.

Most homes, however, have a natural gas heating

system so this conversion is unnecessary. Coupled

with a pasive house or other super-insulation strategy

it can make sense to employ thermoelectrics as part

of a larger system.

Micro-Speakers

Triad produces a series of Mini theater speak-

ers designed for ceiling placement. At the smallest,

these are about 12 x 10.5 x 7.5deep. These direct

sound at a 45degree angle towards the listener.

SpeakerCraft offers an aimable in-ceiling

speaker that includes dual tweeters and a 7radius

woofer. This unit is 4.5deep, powered by 60Watts

and directionally aims the sound at the listener.

Polk Audio is also a top in-ceiling speaker pro-

ducer. They make a wide variety of speakers, most

popular is the 9 diameter RC60i series. the appear-

ance mimics recessed ceiling lights to blend-in. All of

these options are expensive: over $200 for a set.

Environmental Controls

Sound Spotlights

The source of sound is not the physical device

you see, but the invisible beam of ultrasound, which

can be many meters long. This new sound source,

while invisible, is very large compared to the audio

wavelengths its generating. So the resulting audio is

now extremely directional, just like a beam of light.

Of course, the ultrasound, which contains fre-

quencies far outside our range of hearing, is com-

pletely inaudible. But as the ultrasonic beam travels

through the air, the inherent properties of the air cause

the ultrasound to change shape in a predictable way.

This gives rise to frequency components in the audible

band, which can be accurately predicted, and there-

fore precisely controlled. By generating the correct

ultrasonic signal, we can create, within the air itself,

essentially any sound desired.

Essentially, to overcome the inherent limita-

tions of sound wave generation and speaker cone

-size,Holosonic has made a narrow beam of sound

from a small acoustic source by generating only ul-

trasound.

the speakers are sold commerically as either

16 or 24 squares at 1/2 deep and are accompanied

by a processor/amplier, cables and an audio source.

Micro-Fans

On the opposite end of the spectrum from the

Air Curtains, micro-fans offer the possibility of a dif-

fused source of air-circulation and the potential to

evenly circulate radiant heat or cooling.

The micro -axial fan by SwitchesPlus is only

10mmx 10mmx 2mm, inaudible, and has an airow

of 1.3l/min.

the even smaller, Axial fan has a 6mm diameter

. these fans are being produced primarily for portable

electronic devices and are paired with heat sink tech-

nologies to transfer approximately 20% more heat.

the Stokes Institute that produced ths fan has investi-

gated both radial and axial ow geometries, aerodyna-

ics and fabrication at this micro-scale. Their products

are not simple shrunken versions of larger fans, and

they suggest the potential to have specically micro-

engineered fans embedded into larger systems.

haptic actuators:

Fog and Steam Walls

These technologies are primarily being used by

theater and production companies for big performanc-

es. The effects are generally used in combination with

lighting to accentuate the depth or thicknes of the fog.

All of these actuators have proven to be safe enough

for deployment around huge crowds of people.

Very thin fog walls or fog screens have recently

been pioneered as projection screens. These screens

have the effect of making images appear to oat in

thin air, as the fog is barely visible where there is no

projection. It requires both electricity and pressurized

water ow to create the screen and a projector for the

images. A person can walk through the screen and

temporarily interrupt the projection, which will reas-

semle once the fog become stable again as a projec-

tion surface.

haptic actuators:

Air Curtains

An air curtain is a device that is mounted above

a doorway and blows air down across the door, sepa-

rating the indoors from the outdoors, or one environ-

ment from another. It is designed to keep an indoor

controlled temperature inside of the building, saving

energy when anything from a customer to a tractor

trailer enters and exits the building.

This technology is used on a huge range of

scales, from industrial applications (up to 30ft tall) to

small retail applications such as a food refridgerator/

dispenser.

Floor Tile SubStructure

The oor tile is built to structurally carry the

weight of a person so the prototype can be tested at

full scale. In this case, the tile is covered with 1/8

plexiglass so the substructure must be substantial.

The RFID Reader is embedd in such a way that

it will not be crushed when stepped on. It has four

wires that must be directly connected to the arduino

board.

lined with existing technology for multi-light arrays that

do not require individual wiring. Here, the multitude of
