We all need light to live.

RTG CEL is the key to unlocking your own growing experience no matter what your situation. With open source grow light technology RTG CEL will enable you to grow anything anywhere. For years we have been using grow light systems that generate more wasted reflected light and heat than usable grow energy. Using open source RTG CEL you can now have a lighting system that gives you the light you need with out all the harmful wasted energy and high power consumption. For the first time ever you can use renewable energy to power your grow off the grid. You can create your own food supply no matter where you are.

Here is how it works.

We all need light to live. Light is the fastest way to transmit information and this information is what powers life. Color is the frequency at which this light information resonates. Different processes in life require different colors of light to live.

Plants are most sensitive to red and blue light while our eyes are most sensitive to green light. Most green light is reflected away by the green leaf and helps us see the plants better. After we learn what light is needed we can use RTG CEL to generate the needed light information with out wasting power on unused frequencies of light. In other words we need a different color spectrum of light to see easily than plants need to grow easily. Different processes require different types and colors of light. Now that we know what kind of light information is needed we can implement CEL technology and efficiently generate the right kind of light without wasting energy.

In example you can collect full spectrum sunlight with a solar system then use that electricity to generate only the usable light we need instead of an inefficient system where a broad spectrum of unused and often harmful radiation is emitted leading to large amounts of energy being consumed. This means that you can use renewable energy resources to make light that will help you live a better and healthier life.


How to build and use RTG CEL (simple version)

There are three main components to RTG CEL.

1.Wavelength Specific Emitter. This device will emit a specific color of light when a specific amount of electrical energy is applied. Often but not limited to LED. The idea is to only emit the wavelengths or colors of light that you need. LEDs are good for this because they usually have a very finite and specific color range per emitter. Keep in mind choosing the proper spectrum or color of light is very important for maximum efficiency.

2.Load Limiting Device. You can't just hook up any emitter to any source of electricity. Without a device to control the electrical current the emitter would draw too much power and burn up. In order to find the right kind of load limiter we will need to look at the electrical characteristics of the emitters and the type of electricity. There are many options to control the electricity such as LED drivers and other digital devices but the smoothest and simplest way to drive any LED is with a properly rated resistor. For instance if we are using a 12 volt direct current electrical system and a 10 watt deep red LED that has characteristics of 10.5 volts at .7 amp then we would need a 10 watt 2.2 ohm resistor in between the power source and LED to ensure proper function.

3.Heat sink/Reflector. This is the key to RTG CEL! All electrical devices give off heat as a by product to their function. Using a reflective and thermally conductive materiel such as aluminum to dissipate the heat while concentrating the beam of light will further increase efficiency and give structure to the CEL.
