Possible Job Opp... Working for the enviroment again...WOOT..!!

[Sublimewind]

Hi all,As some may know, I've been laid-off since April.. I'm pretty excited, I have a job opp. to work for a company building the new generation of Solar Shingles...!!! Yes, soon, one will be able to re-roof the house with SOLAR CELLS...!!!! This is going to have a wonderfully HUGE impact on the world environment..!!I'm so happy to have the opp to work with environmental issues..!! This wouldn't be the first time I've working in environmentally related areas either.. My last job was working on OLED lighting.. if it ever comes about, it will revolutionize lighting as we know it... (Think light fixtures mm's thick)I also worked in a Fuel Cell program... I'm psyched, I have a first phone interview with the company today at 1:30... Cheers,Aaron

let us know when you can offer the company discount good luck

That's awesome!!! Good luck and like Keith said, keep us in the loop lol.btw, OLED, does that mean Organic LEDs?

[808 Vibes]

Good for you!! Good luck!!

[lovemyraffe]

That's awesome! Good luck!

[BlueCrush]

Good Luck, Aaron! Hope you get it!!!!

Thank you everyone... I just finished the phone interview and I think it went really well... I should know more about a face to face interview on Mon/TuesQuote, originally posted by Wolfman213 »That's awesome!!! Good luck and like Keith said, keep us in the loop lol.btw, OLED, does that mean Organic LEDs?Yes Sir, Organic LED's it's the new thing as the organics allow for both very thin and possibly flexible devices.. it's VERY cool.. You can get on YouTube, right now, and look at a flexible display...!!!The biggest problem with OLED's today is protecting them from water and oxygen... Both of which degrade/destroy the organic material.. One might thing you could just slap a plastic coating on it and go, but it's not that easy as most plastics are easily permeable to water and oxygen..!! Mind you at the levels of contamination we where concerned about where EXTREMELY small, it's enough to hurt the organics.. I actually CAN show you what I did now... Pics to follow..

Sorry about the cell pics, it's the fastest way for me to get pics online... The ones that are tilted, looked squished then I straightened them, so please, just turn your head... lol... thanks.. These where the OLED devices, they where roughly 2"x2"x1/16" And glass made up 99.5% of the whole of the device.. The other 0.5% was metalization for the conductors (half of which was clear and made of Indium Tin Oxide), the organic layer and finally the Barrier.. I performed the Barrier coating, or the protective film that sealed the organics form the elements.. My coatings where typically 1200nm thick (yeah that's nanometers) and comprised of 7 thinner layers.. 6@200nm and 1@100nm... lol... This is how much light they can produce, with nothing more than a few microns in thickness of material.. It's SO thin, you can hardly see distortions in reflections off the glass... And finally, when water and oxygen begin to infiltrate the substrate, either through cracks or pin holes in the coating, it starts to break down the Organic layer and kills it.. The dark spots shown... one of which has an orange "halo" around it... But really, it's a micronic flame front.. lol.. I powered them with a 9v battery to start and it was too much, and literally that is a burn mark and flame front that would continue to grow if I left it lit.. lol.. So now, they are producing that much light, on 4AA batteries.. Some might say that isn't a lot of light compared to a LED flashlight, but when you start to consider how much actual material that goes into making a OLED... the difference is obvious.. LED's require a rigid substrate as well...

If you wanted to check out Solar Shingles, you can check out the company... http://www.uni-solar.com/GM is currently (how I don't know) finishing up a 12MW solar cell install on one of the plants in Spain.. It's a 400mil$ deal.... It's super cool, but makes me wonder... http://www.uni-solar.com/uploa...n.pdf

Those OLED's are freaking impressive!!!!! How long till they planned on seeing it hit the mass market? I'll be checking out the solar shingles once I get home.

[northvibe]

fingers crossed for ya!I did a oled presentation/research a while back in college, they are very cool. Tv's can be curved etc. Its just expensive still.

[06Trix]

Good luck man. I've been out of work for a year now, so I know the frustration. I finally have a prospect on the horizon though.

[Sublimewind]

Thanks guys... Yeah, it's a sketchy time, that's why I feel very fortunate..

[455SD]

Good luck to you! I hope this pans out well. You have been in on some cutting edge technology thats been environmentally friendly for awhile it seems. These are areas that will continue to grow, so keep your nose to the grindstone. Make sure you drive the Envy to the interview, so they can see how "green" you really are!

[Sublimewind]

Thanks brotha... lol... I don't an Envy though, A Frosty.. lol.. I say let me borrow yours for the interview, but that might be a bit of a drive.. lol..

[Blanco_Diablo]

Sounds like a great career opportunity in a promising industry...good luck!

[Sublimewind]

Well folks.... Something got crosswired... I got word yesterday that they are now going to be laying people off... ????? So, if I where to get a call it's not going to be until mid-March/April..
