Editing Boxed Sun (section)

==Notes==
* Adjustable "Sun angle"
** This would require varying both the direction of the collimated light as well as the simulated path length of the light through our artificial "atmosphere"
** The former could be accomplished by rotating the mechanism mechanically
** To achieve the latter, if we are using a fluid to simulate scattering, we may be able to change the shape of the filter, pumping liquid in and out as necessary
** Alternatively, we may be able to create a 3D filter which we could rotate to change the length of the path taken through the substance, and/or use a clever arrangement of reflectors to pass the light through said the material several times
* Rayleigh scattering
** Using alumina particles: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24058661/
** We may be able to use an optically transparent material other than water, such as an oil
** We could also use a solid material, such as glass, a polymer, silicone, etc.
* Heat dissipation
** On the one hand, a large version of this is going to produce a lot of heat
** On the other hand, Noisebridge has been uncomfortably cold lately, so maybe we could harness the "waste" heat to help defrost our hackers' fingers
** Using liquid cooling to feed a heated floor seems just impractical enough to mention, but we could probably just blow air over the radiator and duct that air toward said hackers
