  • I have always wanted to make a glass floor or glass deck so I got a bunch of glass blocks from Home Depot and made this Glass Deck with LED lights underneath it.

      you could have your own mountain too if you bought property where he's at. although, i doubt he'll be dancing on that glass in the summer. i lasted 6 years there and had to go.

      Ever seen Tron Legacy? Kevin Flynn’s house has the light up floor but also uses white Victorian furniture. Some components of the chairs and tables were transparent and behind the scenes footage reveals that they were acrylic with frosted ends, allowing the light to pass through and weave around the furniture. I don’t know how difficult that would be but i think the furniture should make use of the light from below.

    Would be great for a club or similar location, where people hang out after dark.
    Will the glass stones hold up to being walked on with sandy shoes all the time though? I would imagine, that they become rather scratched and dull after a while. Although that might not make them less pretty at night...just at daytime, maybe.

    • @refusoagaino6824
      @refusoagaino6824 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You would have to camouflage the solar setup to be transparent to the user. One smaller panel could run this for 12 hours if there is a decent battery in the circuit. Any large cordless power tool has a good candidate battery. Connect it in using a modified charging unit, and you could take the battery with you or bring one on visits. Actually, forget the solar panels. Just discretely place that modified charger under a rock or in a hole somewhere close. Solar charge the battery elsewhere.
