Mobile Light Tower Market Expected to Surpass $3.1 Billion by 2031

Mobile Light Tower Market Expected to Surpass $3.1 Billion by 2031 hsauer Thu, 11/17/2022 - 09:23

Mobile Light Tower Market Expected to Surpass $3.1 Billion by 2031

The global mobile light tower market, valued at $1.9 billion in 2021, is expected to reach a $3.1 billion valuation by 2031. A September 2022 report published by Allied Market Research details the causes and trends leading to the expected 5.2% compound annual growth rate from 2022 to 2031.

An increase in infrastructure projects is the leading growth factor. Construction applications led the market growth, specifically the highway, railway and bridge construction segments. Mobile light towers are essential on construction sites that lack adequate lighting and for nighttime operations. In addition, using light towers on railway, highway, roadway, sewer, power and other infrastructure projects increases worker safety and productivity.

A mobile light tower uses an array of electric lamps affixed to the top of a mast. The tower is positioned on top of a trailer, allowing easy transportation from site to site. A generator at the back of the trailer illuminates the lights using diesel, solar, battery power or hybrid methods.

The global light tower market forecast was segmented based on power source, lighting type, technology, application and region. North America accounts for the largest mobile light tower market share, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Key findings of the study based on 2021 mobile light tower data include:

  • Diesel accounted for the largest share of power sources.
  • Metal halide was the leading lighting type used.
  • The leading technology used was manual.
  • Construction was the leading application for use of mobile light towers.

The surge in demand for mobile tower lights has prompted new product development. In 2021, for example, Generac Power Systems Inc., developed an all-in-one mobile lighting tower capable of operating with diesel, battery, hybrid, external power and solar energy as a single machine.

While the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic temporarily impacted mobile light tower market growth, the effect has subsided. Vaccine and distancing initiatives, supplemented by increased government infrastructure funding, have allowed once-halted construction operations to move forward.

A Light Breeze Generates Electricity With New Invention

A Light Breeze Generates Electricity With New Invention hsauer Mon, 11/21/2022 - 14:08

A Light Breeze Generates Electricity With New Invention

Harvesting wind energy is not new, but scientists from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore designed a new device to harness and store it as electricity. This low-cost device, called a wind harvester, can transform energy from winds with a velocity as low as 2 meters per second (m/s).

Announced in a September 2022 article in the scientific journal Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, the device is currently capable of producing 3V and generating power of up to 290 microwatts, although lab test results indicate the harvester can power 40 LEDs consistently with a wind speed of just 4 m/s.

The harvester can also generate enough to power a commercial sensor and send the data to a mobile phone wirelessly or to a battery for storage, demonstrating that it can store enough excess charge to keep the device powered for an extended period, even without available wind.

At only 15 cm by 20 cm (or just under 6 inches by 8 inches), the small-sized harvester is easy to mount on the side of buildings. Scientists hope it will eventually replace batteries in the structural health monitoring sensors on buildings and bridges.

Made of fiber epoxy—a highly durable polymer—the device features a dynamic design that vibrates in the wind. Its plate, made of inexpensive materials like copper, aluminum foil and polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon), vibrates during wind flow, causing charges to form on the film. As they flow from the aluminum foil to the copper film, an electrical current is generated.

Yang Yaowen, a professor in NTU’s School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, led the project. One of the study’s purposes was to develop a device able to harness wind energy at low cost, with low wear and tear and requiring only occasional maintenance.

In addition, he said, “Our research aims to tackle the lack of a small-scale energy harvester for more targeted functions, such as to power smaller sensors and electronic devices.”

An added benefit of this harvester is that it could be an alternative to small lithium-ion batteries that use heavy metals, which can cause environmental issues if not properly disposed of. Widespread use of this not-yet-patented or commercialized device could reduce electronic waste.

“Wind energy is a source of renewable energy,” Yang said. In addition to being renewable, it is clean, producing no greenhouse gases or other pollutants as it generates electricity. “Our invention has been shown to effectively harness this sustainable source of energy to charge batteries and light LEDs, demonstrating its potential as an energy generator to power the next generation of electronics, which are smaller in size and require less power.”

NTU scientists continue their research to improve the energy storage functions of the harvester. As part of that research, they are experimenting with materials that might improve its output power.

How Many Managers Does It Take to Change a Lightbulb?

Jennifer Aaker, a Stanford professor, and Naomi Bagdonas, an executive coach, say that, even in times of stress and crisis, leaders should use and encourage good humor and levity at work as a way of building employee morale and engagement. That doesn't mean you have to tell jokes all the time. Instead, figure out what kind of humor works best for you and learn to pinpoint the opportunities for using it to best effect. They explain what makes things funny (hint: surprise) and the pitfalls managers should avoid. Aaker and Bagdonas are the authors of the book “Humor, Seriously: Why Humor is a Secret Weapon in Business and Life.”

Gaslighting at Work—and What to Do About It

Mita Mallick, head of inclusion, equity, and impact at the firm Carta, says gaslighting at the office is more common than many people realize. That's when a manager or coworker engages in behavior where one thing happens, and they try to convince the victim otherwise. Gaslighting can damage the victim’s well-being and performance as well as the company overall. She explains how to recognize the manipulative behavior, what to do about it in the moment, and how companies can respond. Mallick wrote the HBR.org article "How to Intervene When a Manager Is Gaslighting Their Employees."

A Tiny LED Flashlight with Its Own Charging Case

Here's a strange pairing of objects, from Chinese manufacturer Olight. Their Baton 4 Premium Edition is a tiny LED flashlight—less than 2.5" long--that comes with its own charging case.

Despite its tiny size, the Baton 4 has a 1,300-lumen output, and the company claims it can throw its beam 170 meters (558'). Though the press image isn't so aspirational.

The charging case, which can double as a powerbank, has a built-in 5000mAh battery; the company says it can fully charge the Baton 4 up to five times, providing 190 days of runtime.

The fanatical EDC crowd loves flashlights, stashing stuff inside other stuff, and charging longevity. This object seems tailor-made to scratch all three of those itches.

These run $95.
