GE LED

마음을 따듯하게 밝혀주는 빛 – 노먼 록웰과 GE의 전구

2014년 12월 31일

100년 전이나 지금이나 GE는 변함없이 혁신을 추구하며 사람들의 삶을 더 나아지게 만들기 위해 애쓰고 있다. 비록 전구의 형태는 탄소섬유 필라멘트에서 LED로 바뀌었으나 그 기술의 바탕에 놓인 GE의 정신은 변함없이 이어지고 있는 것이다.

빛과 시간은 어떻게 미래가 되는가

천 년전에 완성된 나전칠기 기술을 바탕으로 예술가는 다른 지평을 만들고 새로운 경계를 넘어선다. 전통공예 장인들과는 다른 생각과 상상력을 가졌기때문이다. 에디슨의 전구에서 시작된 GE는 아직도 전구를 만들고 있다. 그러나 GE는 100년의 세월 동안 끝없이 변신해왔다. LED 조명 기술을 최초로 발명하여 새로운 가능성을 제시하였을 뿐만 아니라 산업인터넷 기술을 적용하는 등 경계를 넘나드는 상상력을 현실화하고 있다.

Slice into an additively-made part from @geadditive and you’ll see geometries once thought impossible with traditional manufacturing methods. Why the hype? Engineers can now find greater strength and efficiency through design. #engineering #additive #3Dprinting #manufacturing
Colder weather is on the way. If you’re in Winnipeg, Canada, that means ice testing is too. There, @geaviation test engines are pummeled with sub-zero winds and ice. The harsh conditions on the ground make sure engines are ready to face the elements in the air. #AVgeek #jetengine #engineering
This Ultra Performance Heat Exchanger is a perfect example of how small parts can make a HUGE difference. Still in development, the additively manufactured compact heat exchanger is printed with a high-temperature capable, crack-resistant nickel superalloy that will be able to withstand temps that exceed 1,650°F at pressures >3,600 psi. Good thing, too, because it’s headed straight for the inside of a gas turbine, where it’s projected to deliver a 4% improvement in thermal efficiency for supercritical C02 power cycles while improving power output and reducing emissions. Cleaner, more efficient power generation here we come.
Spooky season is here, but don't let your annual mammogram scare you. Nearly 30% of women in the U.S. admit to skipping breast screenings out of fear. That's why @gehealthcare engineers decided to better the experience with a mammography system designed by women, for women. Melding comforting design with cutting edge technology, the Senographe Pristina aims to humanize the process for patients, technicians, and radiologists. #BCAM #Mammography #breastcancerawareness
Wind, meet water. In Germany’s Swabian-Franconian Forest, you’ll find the world’s tallest (584 ft) and first-ever wind turbines integrated with pumped storage hydroelectric power. So how does it work? At the base of each wind turbine sits a reservoir. Water flowing downhill from the reservoirs will power the hydro plant when electricity is needed. When there’s an energy surplus, the hydro power will push the water back up the hill to the reservoirs, where it will act as a giant battery for the wind turbines. So no matter if the wind is blowing or not, electricity will always be flowing
