GENIUS SOLAR BOTTLE (Light Bulb Alternative)

[toxxicpit]

@linuxfreeyourmind i think the guy that had this idea has about double your IQ :)

[AstatineMime]

And how is this genius really? When only poor people do this when they can't see in the rain.

WOW LIGHTS IN THE DAY AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CUT HOLES IN YOUR ROOF

AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO DESTROY YOUR ROOF AND HOUSE.

[Epickmon]

@Max01388 It rarely rains there and they are cemented on the sides so it doesn't leak either.

@linuxfreeyourmind Everyone is entitled to their beliefs. Butt truth cares not what you believe.

[lainokam2]

can´t post links? fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[lainokam2]

Old... They made this in Brazil since 2002...

"In 2002, right in the blackout, a mechanical Uberaba realized that he could escape from the darkness to hang plastic bottles filled with water on the roof of house"

A 2008 video:

Now, we use Pets in solar heaters.

Sorry...

[SuperWiz666]

Remember the intended market--'cheap' is often unaffordable, saving pennies on power is not a trivial matter when living on very low incomes. Savings buy little luxuries like medicine and food.

[SuperWiz666]

@linuxfreeyourmind What has been re-invented is a light dispersion technique.

The bottle collects more light and disperses light better.than a similar sized hole--more relevant is that bottles are everywhere, glass and plastic sheets are not.

These buildings require poer during the day. These people live on less than your car payment/year. Saving pennies is BIG!

Pls learn to think b4 writing--you'll look less of a fool.

I bet it works great at night aswell.

[SuperWiz666]

@spxcore1 In fact, for between 1/4-1/2 the time, it will provide enough light to move around at night...right now they require power during the DAY most, as most sleep at night.

[AFatalPapercut]

Still can't do jack shit at night can they?

[MyHatIsGreen]

@AFatalPapercut

They can use electricity.

[MrCauthon2]

step 1: Make a hole/hatch in the roof.

step 2: There is no step 2, you're done.

Patent pending.

[Epickmon]

@MrCauthon2 You'd only get a spot of light on the floor. It doesn't spread around the whole room like it does with the bottles.

"Isang Litrong Liwanag'... Designed and developed by students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Solar Bottle Bulb is based on the principles"

[SuperWiz666]

variation of below deck lighting prisims used for centuries on sailing ships...you don't need genius, just knowledge.

[MrChewyCoco]

centycents got any proof?

"Designed and developed by students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)"

IT WAS NOT INVENTED BY FILIPINOS! NOW STOP TAKING CREDIT OF IT!

****HINDI INIMBENTO NG PINOY.

HAYYYYYYY

[JoobiZat]

But their clothes will fade... :0

[malateanph]

Where's the switch??

[earthcallshelp]

@ MrFundash I agree that making the technology known is very important especially in this day and age since so many of our brothers and sisters are in need of it globally. However, my only point is that we have a moral responsibility to be honest about our influences and give credit to sources, especially when presenting to the public. Given little value today, its a simple matter of respecting intellectual property by not taking others ideas and passing them off as ones own. Peace

[cheperez55]

@earthcallshelp ...you are right.!!!!!!!!

[earthcallshelp]

The Brazilian engineer who FIRST came up with this idea did so in the midst of an energy blackout and crisis in 2002.

[MrFundash]

@earthcallshelp I guess the idea is not about who invented it or who first thought of it. It is about making the technology known and reach out for those who need it. Anyone can claim the idea, but what's important is that more and more people are starting to recognize it and be able to take advantage of this virtually-free technology.

[Joyzkie1993]

can it still works at night?

[MrFundash]

@Joyzkie1993 The basic answer is no. But you see, there is an unnecessary usage of electric light in the Philippines due to bad designs of houses wherein even in brightest day sunlight doesn't enter the homes. What happens is that electric bulbs are used even during daytime, and this consumes energy and has an impact on economics at large. When we can get rid of this unneeded use of electricity, then ordinary households can save much of their electric bills in the long run.
