I'm beginning to code my next IRTC submission, having enough time
on my hands the following days. I thought it would be nice to show
some work in progress during the process. If the group feels it isn't
a good idea, tell me and I'll stop. Otherwise : watch, criticize,
whatever !
This is the mechanism of a cyber(!)-moucharabieh, a device to stop
the sun's rays from entering a room, with the inner spiral sliding
inside the outer spiral, allowing to change the aperture of the hole.
Cheers,
Fabien.

Well, I doubt the IRTC has the competition limited to realistic
engines/devices, but owing to the duality of light...

Oh, I must've been unclear : the shown device is only a PART of
what will be in the image (and, anyway, this one, afaik, don't
exist anywhere in the real world).

Actually there are devices like this...
The Museum of Arab World in Paris has computer-activated moucharabiehs,
somewhat different from yours.
Have a look : http://www.imarabe.org/perm/ima/diaphragmes.html (the
picture is from inside the building).
Problem is that they're out of order most of the time...

I must say, the word moucharabieh was completely new to me. I now know it's
some kind of screen which lets the light in, and lets people look outside
without being seen from outside. When I searched for "moucharabieh" on the
web, this museum was mentioned on quite a few pages.

No offense, anyone. I was just remarking on the wording of the original
post. i.e.
"This is the mechanism of a cyber(!)-moucharabieh, a device to stop
the sun's rays from entering a room, with the inner spiral sliding
inside the outer spiral, allowing to change the aperture of the hole."
Does "moucharabieh" truly mean it keeps out the suns rays?

Well, a "genuine" moucharabieh is mostly some kind of metallic grid,
with an oriental-ish pattern, found in Arab countries, where sun
hits hard at some hours. The thing allow _air_ to pass, but stops
part of the light. In his marvellous "Institute of Arab World", Paris,
the famous architect Jean Nouvel made a reinterpretation of it, in
the form of an array of computer-controlled diaphragms
(www.imarabe.org).
What I am doing is a reinterpretation of his reinterpretation !!
Cheers,
Fabien.

Heh, cool. :)
When I searched my engines came back with French sites and no english ones,
so I was at a loss. <G>
I just remember those light dispersion plots for a light experiment in high
school. Sorry. :)
