The light rolls in

David Jones

Nature, 1997, vol. 389, issue 6649, 339-339

Abstract: The surface of an ionic crystal — at least in a vacuum — is made up of defects. Daedalus believes that by rotating two ionic rollers in contact, the surfaces will be continually brought together and then torn apart. Their surface defects will be continuously healed and recreated, resulting in the generation of copious amounts of light. On the basis of this, DREADCO physicists plan to create a ‘Rolamp’, which will be far more efficient than existing lamps.
