ARTIFICIAL SUN: Aesthetically it's no match for the Sun, but.in performance, at
least over a four-foot squaro area, this solar simulator duplicates the Sun’
radiation on a clear day. The low-cost simulator, developed at NASA's Lewi.
Research Center in Cleveland, ysed 143 tungsten-halogen 300-watt lamps to
simulate the sun radiation. The simulator is used to test new designs of solar
collectors which trap the Sun's radiation to heat water for such uses as heating
or cooling buildings and homes. 2 RS a
