AzulCrescentlil tidbit about Solar
Not a funni comic and a bit nerdy, but i wanted to write about something that i find cool lol.
Thepi@AzulCrescent There's also a fun thing where LEDs and solar panels are fundamentally the same object, so you can use an LED as a (really crappy) solar panel, and you can use a solar panel as an LED (once)!
@thepi LMAO at the once ahahha
Robot@thepi @AzulCrescent you actually can use solar panels as LEDs for a longer period of time if you drive them sanely, they just output in infrared instead of the visible spectrum.
yes this means you can (well, could, theoretically) make a tv/aircon remote out of one
Julie@robot @thepi @AzulCrescent I was just wondering about this, kinda sad they don't output visible light, although the infrared thing is also really cool
@thepi @AzulCrescent That is so cool! Reminds me of the way microphones and speakers are also the same thing, just optimised differently
@thepi @AzulCrescent WAIT does that mean solar panels can just... glow?? Like, you could use solar paneled roofs as a massive (low pixel) display?
