EcoArk Taiwan台灣環生方舟

Taiwan's plastic bottle building -- EcoARK Exhibition Hall.
Not just a bottle picked off the street. Polli-Brick from Hymini is made from recycled PET bottles. The building can be disassembled and then reassembled elsewhere. Looks like that might take a bit of time though as the building is 85 meters long (279 feet).
EcoARK PET bottles to be spread among 100 schools
GREEN USE:The bottles used to build a pavilion at the flora expo will be reused in creative projects to raise environmental awareness among local communities
Staff Writer, with CNA

A total of 1.52 million recycled plastic bottles used to build a pavilion at the Taipei International Flora Expo will be taken apart and sent to elementary schools nationwide to raise environmental awareness, the building’s sponsor said yesterday.

The Far Eastern Group, commissioned by the Taipei City Government to build the EcoARK — a boat-shaped exhibition hall made of PET bottles — said it would work with the Ministry of Education to distribute the bottles to 100 elementary schools for “green use.”

Schools that were damaged by Typhoon Morakot in 2009 will be given priority, group chairman Douglas Hsu (徐旭東) said.

He said all the honeycomb-shaped PET bricks used to build the EcoARK will be reused in creative projects so local communities can join in on the environmentally friendly action.

For instance, he said, the bricks can be reassembled into bus stops, greenhouses, galleries or even sheds for keeping livestock.

“Since the bottles were collected from the public, we think it is best that the materials go back into the hands of the people,” Hsu said.

The group said the inspiration for EcoARK came from the large number of PET bottles recycled in Taiwan every year — about 90,000 tonnes.

EcoARK, also known as the Pavilion of New Fashion, attracted more than 2 million visitors at the expo. It was featured on the National Geographic Channel’s Megastructures, which was aired in 168 countries in 34 languages, with an estimated audience of 370 million.

CAYIN Digital Signage Introduces New Green Era in Pavilion of New Fashion (FE EcoARK)

2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition, certified by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH), was held in Taipei, Taiwan from November 6, 2010 to April 25, 2011. The main concept of this exposition was to convey the essence of horticulture, science, and environmental protection, all of which were perfectly accomplished by the FE EcoARK – Pavilion of New Fashion. Designed for a new eco-friendly life, FE EcoARK grabbed worldwide media attention during the construction period and was always packed with people waiting in a long line after its grand opening.

Elaborate the New Green Era via Digital Signage
FE EcoARK, sponsored and operated by the Far Eastern Group, was the world’s first green building made from recycled PET bottles. It was built by 480,000 PET bricks which were reshaped from 1.52 million recycled PET bottles. The whole pavilion included seven areas and each and every detail reflected the idea of creating a fashionable and eco-friendly life via high technology.

In order to let visitors fully understand the design and planning of the unprecedented plastic building, the Far Eastern Group consulted Paoan, CAYIN’s premium partner in Taiwan and installed nine 42” LCD displays and CAYIN digital signage players at the main entrance as the promotional channel. As a result, visitors in the queue could come up with preliminary ideas about the green building and reduce impatience waiting in a long line.

CAYIN’s digital signage solution conveyed the design of this modern-day “Noah’s Ark” with high quality video playback. Visitors were able to learn the whole amazing process including: soliciting 1.52 million discarded PET bottles, grinding the bottles into plastic flakes, molding 480,000 PET bricks, and assembling and constructing the FE EcoARK. This high-tech and eco-friendly journey started from the waiting area at the entrance where green ideas were taking root in people’s minds.

Convey Instant and Fashionable Information

At the Pavilion of New Fashion, FE EcoARK had another mission; to present all kinds of fashion and art. Therefore, EcoARK hosted over 200 fashion exhibitions and artistic events in six months. To present visitors with the creative concepts of each piece of artwork, the organizer deployed CAYIN’s digital signage players in major exhibiting areas. Visitors could appreciate works of art while simultaneously viewing a video on the screen of the designers’ inner world.

Reduce Energy and Operating Cost with CAYIN Digital Signage Solutions
CAYIN’s digital signage solution is equipped with powerful playback and managerial functions, largely reducing the operating cost for FE EcoARK. Administrators can schedule playlist to playback different multimedia content automatically at a designated period of time. Therefore, information can reach visitors both inside and outside the building effectively.

Moreover, CAYIN’s digital signage players can turn on and off remote screens automatically in accordance with the exhibition activities. Volume can also be lowered automatically at night. Judging from the number of visitors, administrators can sit in the office and shut down players immediately to save energy. In addition to high quality presentation and powerful remote management, these environmentally-friendly designs are one of the main reasons why the organizer chooses CAYIN’s digital signage as the information platform in this big exhibition.

During the six-month exposition, CAYIN’s digital signage solution successfully assisted Far East Group in conveying the green ideas to all visitors in FE EcoARK, the world’s first building made from recycled PET bottles. The building was also featured in “Megastructures”, the National Geographic Channel’s popular series, and will be broadcasted in 34 languages to 166 countries around the world.

2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition
The 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition, authorized by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH), was the first international certified standard exposition that Taiwan has ever held. This exposition opened on November 6, 2010 and continued presenting the most spectacular scenery and more than 7000 cultural performances all the way until April 25, 2011. The six-month exposition covered 91.8 hectares of exhibiting areas and was conducted on the riverside and 14 featured parks. The basic design concept of this exposition was based on the symbiosis theory which merges humanity’s basic needs in the desire to pursue happiness and extends the boundary of imagination, thus creating a future full of countless possibilities.

A special thanks to Far Eastern Group who adopted CAYIN’s digital signage solutions in the Pavilion of New Fashion (FE EcoARK), so that CAYIN could be part of this great exposition.

全世界獨一無二,用150萬支PET寶特瓶打造出來的展覽館,將在這次台北花博會亮相。這棟建築物還有個很特別的名字「環生方舟」,雖然還在施工階段,但是負責贊助興建的遠東集團董事長徐旭東今天已經迫不及待地帶媒體參觀內部構造。

台北花博將於11月6日開展,由企業贊助興建的環保展館「環生方舟」在今天搶先亮相。這座以150萬個寶特瓶為建材的展館,長度達130公尺,最高處有9層樓高,從研發到製成,全部都是台灣人的智慧結晶,也可以說是台灣的驕傲。因為這是2010年台北國際花卉博覽會14個展館中,唯一在結束後可以拆除再重組利用的設施。

擁有哈佛大學建築碩士的環生方舟總設計師黃謙智指出,「很輕的房子是不怕地震的,越重的房子越怕地震。」所以它可以抵抗15級強風,以及比921 、四川大地震更大的震度,也就是震度9級的強震,但造價僅要一般鋼骨結構的四分之一,而隔熱效果卻是傳統玻璃帷幕建築的4倍。

打造寶特瓶綠建築的遠東集團負責人徐旭東則表示,台灣每年產生逾24億個廢棄寶特瓶,但回收再利用寶特瓶比例僅4%,其餘的都是垃圾,成為環保一大致命傷。

徐旭東說,兩年前透過旗下通路在全台回收150萬個寶特空瓶,經過清洗、打碎、融化等步驟製成獨特的寶特瓶建材,這次期盼藉花博讓台灣綠建築技術登上世界舞台。

遠東環生方舟緊鄰著2010台北花卉博覽會主展場,就在中山北路與酒泉街交叉口。徐旭東表示,9月起希望民眾帶著好奇、探險的心,一起來「環生方舟」,將環保和希望的種子灑落在世界各處。(新聞來源:東森新聞台記者葉炅龍、蔣紀威)

燈籠果

燈籠果 燈籠果屬於醋栗科茶蔍屬多年生灌木。株叢高1.2 米左右,果子是一個套着燈籠型莢子的小圓果,比拇指大一點,里面有很多小籽。未成熟時味極酸,成熟後呈黄綠色,完全成熟後呈紫紅色,非常甜,可以用來烤果餅,做果醬。燈籠果花朵燈籠果原產祕魯和智利,但是並不是什麼重要得產品。當地人隨便吃一點,偶爾也在菜市場看到。但是被廣泛的引入各熱帶和亞熱帶地區,所有番茄可以存活的地方都可以種。果醬和罐頭是居民的常用品,也經常出口。中部非洲國家,如加蓬,也有小型果園。 一、燈籠果的生育週期 1、發芽期:從種子吸水萌動到真葉露心為發芽階段,由播種到種子萌芽長出土,達到80%以上,大約需要7~15天。 2、幼苗期:苗出齊後,有80%的植株達到三片真葉,即第一個花萼形成前約20~30天。此期主要是根、莖、葉的生長時期,在生產上要採取良好的措施,培育生長發育健壯的幼苗,為高產、優質、豐產打下良好的基礎。 3、開花期:從開第一朵花開始到最後開的一朵花所持續的天數,為開花日數。最早開的第一朵花達5%的植株為開花始期,以月、日表示,植株最後開的花,而漿果又能在霜前充分成熟的日期為終花期。 4、結果期:結果期分為始期和終期。結果始期,即有5%的植株落花後,坐住果的日期。結果終期,即是終花期的花坐住果的日期。   5、成熟期:漿果成熟期,可分為始熟期和終熟期。始熟期,即有5%的植株第一個果成熟的日期。終熟期即最後充分成熟漿果的日期。燈籠果是由下向上陸續開花結果成熟的。第一個花果實膨大生長,第2~4朵花相繼現蕾、開花和結果。 二、燈籠果對環境條件的要求:   1、溫度:燈籠果性喜溫,不耐霜凍。種子發芽以30℃左右發芽迅速;幼苗生長期20~25℃、夜間不低於17℃適宜生長;開花結果期白天以20~25℃、夜間不低於15℃為宜,否則易引起落花落果。氣溫10℃以下植株停止生長。0℃以下植株受凍。經調查看,幼苗耐低溫能力不成熟,所以露地生殖時期不能過早,而必須在晚霜過後方可栽植。   2、光照:燈籠果對光照要求比較敏感,需要充足的光照。在3000~4000米燭光範圍內,生長發育協調,果實品質優良。光照不足時,植株徒長而細弱,產量下降,漿果著色差,品味不佳。因此,在生產上必須注意種植密度的合理性和打尖、抹芽、整枝的必要性。   3、水分:燈籠果需水較多,尤其在漿果開始成熟前期,枝葉和果實同時生長,需水較多,當漿果大量...

連通管原理與應用

英 文版, English version   中 文版, Chinese version 西班牙文版, Espanol version  連通管基本原理 1. 連通管原理指的是,在一般開放的空間中,幾個液體容器的底部都相通的裝置,而若任一容器內注入液體,則當液體靜止時,各容器的液面必在同一水平面。 2. 兩 端的大氣壓力一樣,但管內兩端的水受重力作用而各自下墜,下墜瞬間,在圓弧頂部拉出一個真空,因真空而有壓力差,此時兩端的大氣壓 力再次從兩端將兩管的水壓回,但壓回的力量是大氣壓力減去管內的水壓(F=(Patm-PH2O)*A),而長管內的水比短管內的水還要重,所以壓回的力 量是短管的壓力大於長管的壓力,所 以,虹吸管內的水就會不斷的由短管端流入而由長管端流出。   3. 如果我們用兩根連通管,所以效率會變成兩倍。 4. 如果用兩根連通管,但是其中一個連接抽水馬達 , 此時 一根連通管是抽水,所以另一根把水送回 , 大氣壓力將兩管的水平衡,所 以,一個馬達可以有兩倍的動力 , 水就會不斷的循環。 問題1:請比較上連通管與下連通管的差異? 問題2:請問雙連通管時,管徑與高度差的關係?   簡易潮汐開關  (外部連通管)  1. 由於水持續進入水箱,水在水箱和潮汐開關內以同樣的速度上升。(潮汐開關內的底部是連通的)。虹吸管是通到外部的。水會持續上升到外部的開口端。 2. 一旦水上升到內部的開口端,它變成一個密封空間。由於水繼續上升,在水箱內水位繼續上升,但速度變慢。同時,水箱內水壓漸大。 3. 由於水位接近高水位線,壓力在開關內鐘將水位上升到臨界,造成部份水會先進入管道。 (同時會將管道上端部份空氣帶出,因為空氣在管內流動,也是噪音最大的時候) 4. 由於水在水箱到達高水位線後,體積空氣被迫壓縮管道,並透過虹吸作用,排出的空氣壓力後,進而開始大量排水。 (一旦開始大量排水,也是聲音最小的時候) 5 .水會一直流出,直到水位低到讓潮汐開關吸入空氣。然後,潮汐開關回歸起始位置。 6. 由於水持續進入水箱,水在水箱和潮汐開關內以同樣的速度上升。(潮汐開關內的底部是連通的)。虹吸管是通到外部的。水會持續上升到內部的開口端。  可以參考以下的...
