Description

We created a billboard that harnesses the energy from oranges to illuminate a neon sign that reads 'Natural Energy' & the Tropicana logo. Through several thousand spikes of copper and zink, a lot of wiring and 3 months of testing we managed to make a giant multi-cell battery powerful enough to light up a billboard. The custom build was produced by Unit9 in collaboration with director Johnny Hardstaff who created the accompanying 90second film.
