UV glass sensor

Abstract

This is a conceptual paper aimed at harnessing the electromagnetic properties of glass as a good source of power. The magnetic field produced by the atoms in the glass is analyzed using optical rectification. The focus point is found by dividing the glass material into a number of matrix segments. The focus point refers to the point on the glass which has the maximum solar light incident on it. The solar light is made to [3] fall on a device called pyranometer that is used to analyze the solar irradiance for a period of time before allowing it to fall on the material. The above process takes place when the maximum power point tracking algorithm based instrument is [4] attached to the glass. The intensity and distance relationship is calculated using inverse square law concept. The major challenge is that the solar light must be focused on the glass 2 with an intensity of 1 MWatt/m. The focusing object must be 500mm away from the glass. Sun is the source of light and is located at a distance of 149,600,000km. The intensity it 2 provides is 2.585438 micro watt/m which is very low compared to the intensity required, hence UV light is focused on the glass [7].
