  • Patent number: 9500794
    Abstract: A light intensifier comprising an arrangement and structured collaboration of one or more of fiber optics, acrylic light rods, optical lenses, mirrors, an ignition light source, an ignition power source, and casing. The light intensifier produces a source of light that starts from an initial light source and results in an output of light that is increased in intensity as the sum of all its parts work in unison to form a constantly magnifying looping engine. According to one embodiment, the light intensifier comprises a transmitting panel, a receiving panel, a light source connected to the transmitting panel, a plurality of light guides, and a light output portal connected to the receiving panel. The receiving panel is arranged across of and aligned with the transmitting panel such that the inner surface of the receiving panel faces the inner surface of the transmitting panel. The light source emits a first light beam on the inner surface of the receiving panel.
