Stadium Lights Responding to Fans
Sports stadium fans go to the events for the ambience and experience. Indeed, one with a large screen television would have a better view of what happened, along with slow-motion replays and zoom lenses. But we all agree it is not the same. Yet as sports figures salaries increase that means the cost of the tickets go up as well. These are issues for sports fans and this is without mentioning getting the SUV to the event considering the $3.00 plus per gallon. In fact one recent executive working for a large plasma screen TV manufacturing corporation said that for the price of two-visits to a sports game with your son, you could have already paid for the High Definition screen and the speakers to the surround sound. Of course if you live in New Orleans, Louisiana you could have picked on up for free recently? Okay bad joke. What I am getting at is the Stadiums need to continue to develop more in the way of the experience, as fans are getting very tired of “the Wave” partly due to the fact that many are over weight and partly because we been there and done that.
I propose bright colored lighting using electromagnetic induction technology to charge a capacitor instead of the lights working off a battery. Currently there are some nifty micro-flashlights being used which you can buy which use a similar technique and are available thanks to the Everlite Flashlight technology research lab. These smaller flashlights work by shaking them for about thirty seconds and shine for about 6 minutes and they shine quite bright since they use a very bright LED light. Here is a link to this home use flashlight:

Now then imagine a system that the more the crowd cheered the greater the lights and the more they cheered the different colors of light. This would propel more of an exciting and intense experience. By using many smaller systems with thousands and thousands of little lights, with mirrors the greater the expression of excitement and cheering the bigger the effect. It is human energy and human intent willing the light and experience. Think about this.
