120605. Properties.

I was remembering a common physics classroom model in which a hot incandescent light drives a pinwheel inside of a vacuum chamber. Miniaturizing the vacuum chamber and reducing the pinwheel to a chip should allow for a quick connect between copper and fiberoptic. The pulse frequency should be the same to the number of blades in the pinwheel or whatever model the reduced chip works on. Perhaps the fiberoptic cable is not normally used for the resulting spectral range but we have oscilloscopes to locate and tune that. If the electronic transition modes support it a person could hook their fiberoptic cable up to the their washer and dryer 240. In practice the connect would be enormously useful moving from copper to fiberoptic without a digital breadboard handling the translation and switching. Miniature vacuum tubes with nanotech pinwheels. The physics room experiment runs on the incandescent bulb but the pinwheel effect is from an electronic transition and not from heat alone.
