奥斯卡·赫尔米特月球灯

因为众多科技产品发货后质量与众筹展示时相差太大（比如国内部分在海外众筹的无人机项目），导致众筹网站骂声一遍，时过境迁如今风光不再，诸多网站关闭，不过，众筹网站依旧是追梦人的奇地。最近著名众筹网站

Kickstarter

上就推出了一款有趣的众筹产品：具有月球精确地形的月球灯。该灯主要由两个部分组成，第一个部分是位于中心的拥有月球地形等比缩放的月球体，第二部分就是一圈可以围绕球体360度旋转的圈灯。这款具有科技感的产品的数据出自美国宇航局，因此无论是光线轨道还是月球微缩地形都做到了最大程度的精确。

First topographically accurate lunar globe by Oscar Lhermitte with Kudu launching on

The project involves the use of the latest data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter combined with advanced electronic and mechanical engineering alongside careful craftsmanship in mold making.

Design meets technology meets science meets art.

The results are a truly accurate 1/20 million replica of the Moon with surface features in every detail. A ring of LEDs revolves around the globe, constantly illuminating the correct face of the moon and recreating the lunar phases as seen from Earth.

玩法共有三种。1，用户旋转调节“太阳”的角度，得到自己想看的月相。2，设置自动演示，在短短30秒内看到一个完整的月相周期。3，得到与当前月相的同步展示。

MOON has 3 modes of operation:

1. Manual – allowing you to rotate the sun yourself, setting the lunar phase that you would like to see.

2. Demo – letting you observe a synodic month in just 30 seconds.

3. Live – Synchronising itself with the current position of the real moon.

每颗球都在伦敦制作，并有独一无二的编号。中空的球体采用3d打印技术制成，光源则是利用了led光圈。从设计到制作完了很多心血，这款产品不仅是一个具有科普型的月球模型，也能成为办公家具的照明灯具。1.8公斤重。聚氨酯树脂，铝，钢，电子板为主材。现在在Kickstarter支持每个售价500欧元以内，产品证实售卖后零售价在700欧元左右。

All MOONs are manufactured in their studio in London and individually numbered.

MOON will be available at £500 on Kickstarter with a discounted price of £450 for early backers. Retail price will later be around £700. Other great rewards will be available, such as the mission team patch or even a large lunar globe (ø300mm).

MOON is the result of a 4 years long project led by Oscar Lhermitte with Kudu. Countless prototypes and testing has been carried out in the design process. Oscar Lhermitte was in charge of mapping the surface of the Moon in 3D and of the overall design. Kudu was in charge of the mechanical parts and electronic engineering that mimics the Sun and Moon’s movement by precisely controlling the motion of the light.

The lunar globe

The sun light

In order to make the LED ring rotate in sync with the actual Moon, Kudu mimicked the Sun and Moon’s real time path by building and coding a custom computer that precisely controls the motion of the light. Its software and gearing system make sure it is perfectly in sync with the real-time lunar phase.

The MOON computer has the exact same memory as the Apollo 11 computers that landed the first men on the Moon.

The design

Oscar Lhermitte and Kudu took great care in the design of the device, down to the smallest detail. The base is cut from thick steel, powder coated and the graphics are then screen-printed. The arm is CNC machined from aircraft-grade aluminium. This precision and attention to detail not only makes MOON a scientifically accurate globe, but also an ambient light, designed to sit on a desk or shelf.

Overall dimensions: 370mm X 330mm X 180mm

Diameter of globe: 173mm

Material: Polyurethane resin, aluminium, steel, electronic board

Weight: 1.8kg

Price: £500 with an exclusive £450 to early backers on Kickstarter, retail price will later be around £700.

Kickstarter launch date: 13th of April 2016 at 2pm GMT
