they talk about having electricity, so some of them may have light at night. and if not, i'm sure there are candles. but this would save money because a lot of these people are in the slums, or at least at extreme ends of poverty. it's not perfect, but it's still brilliant.
For those of you talking about using this in a 1st world country, We've had the technology for a long time already. They're generally called a light tube, sun pipe, or tubular daylighting device. It's a small clear dome on the roof connected to a highly reflective tube in the attic that mounts to a light spreading reflector in the ceiling.
make a drink, make a bong, make a light what can't a coke bottle be used for? Clever idea, many of us are fortunate not to have to worry about this. We should be thankful.
its also a idea for first world countries. make is look nice. Like a bowl shaped class/ plexi glass at the top. with water. boom! there you have light for the day. You'd save so much energy!
I invent the Future of Solar Light technology ! There is nothing worldwide even come close to my Prototypes ! It saved 80%-90% of Material and Costs! It also can be used to grow up Foot! Full Waterproof also and a complete Solar revolution! I hope i find an Investor to bring it on the Market! Have a look on my Chanel if you like the working Prototypes! It es already Patent Pending! With my Invent its first Time possible to use Solar technology in Areas where they now Solar only from TV
The reality of it is if they put windows in you still get the heat of the day. Plus these shacks are so close together that it would bring in barely enough light. Think before you put down an amazing innovation.
In reality, this isn't about third world ingenuity at all. Can we truly be so small minded as to say that even in first world countries this with modifications wouldn't be a beneficial addition to many homes depending on local building structures? We have homes with skylights as is, why not this as well? It's sheer simplicity, I think is its genius, unconstrained by the limitations of geographic region an idea like this has wide utility, not just in the ghetto either.
@Noghtrider You need the water to refract the light into the building. Notice at 00:39 when there's just a hole, but how much more light is pulled in by the bottle of water when it's lowered in. Also, you don't appreciate how poor these people are... a window's too expensive not to mention the privacy and security issues with thousands of people living on top of each other.
Yeah!!! Put in a window in my ghetto fabulous house that iiiiisss maaaaybe only four walls interconnected with a million other four walls on the ground floor under rusted corrugated roofing.
Ooooor! I'll step out into the "two foot" walkway and get a tan in the "one foot" beam of light that makes it through the gap in the roofs for two hours a day.
I've actually got something similar to this in my house, we call them windows. Similar concept, but slightly bigger and not filled with water/vinegar.
What a wonderful green idea! I don't think this is just for a, "third world country". That term could apply to any country, just as you could be homeless tomorrow. It is how you deal with these situations that define you. I think this is a "whole world application" to being less dependent on a second or third party energy system. I love it.
@marky1014 bkit ka galit sa comment niya, nag tatanong lang naman kung pwede ba lol.. kailangan ba tlg mang away kung hindi mo gusto comment ng isang tao
Amazing this is a real friendly invention. this comes from the Philippines! proud to be Filipino. from empty bottle and a little filling of bleach can makes a 60 watts light. nature friendly! can help climate change!
Wow good job Ilac. I will not be surprise if one day the President will see you to congratulate and give thanks to this wonderful stuff you have shared for the Filipinos.
Did you catch the LIE in this video??? It's great that someone came up with this idea and for it to work is amazing, but the green earth people can't even tell the truth during a 3 minute video. How in the world could this guy save on many of his electric bills when this had only started 1 month ago??? HA! HA! HA! Tells you that this fake global warming group will do anything to get you to feel sorry for someone!
with a little imagination they could cut a hole in the wall and cover it with glass, and if they are really smart they could make it go up and down so they could open it when it gets hot and shut it when it rains. I must be a genius
@hypedsparkle then a light would have to be turned on, however....think of all the electricity SAVED by not having to turn on lights during the day!!!!
The chlorine helps to stop the growth of bacteria and other contaminants from forming in the water. These would cloud the water at best, and cause the bottle to burst and spill its contents below at worst.
@MrJoeochap It seems that they do have lights in the house, but since electricity seems to be very expensive, they use those bottle lights during the day saving them money on their electric bill. And even if they didn't have electricity, you can use candles during the night time and keep them stored during the day time.
i've done some searching from google, this thing was not invented here in the philippines.. from what i've red there are two results who invented this solar bottle, either a Brazilian mechanic or the students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.. i did not dwell on finding out who really invented it bec. i got tired of reading from so many results that was useless..
Fica a dica: "Uma garrafa de Coca-Cola de 2 Litros cheia de água, uma telha de zinco recortada, duas colheres de cloro para evitar crescimento de algas e um buraco no teto."
@bobinny because it is expensive, and the ppl there are so poor they caqnt afford to use their electricity, and everyone can find plastic bottles??? dont try to be so smart... smh
this is proof that you can get free energy without paying for the electricity companies. the problem is, big corporations cannot make profit out of free energy and so they would not want people to have this. imagine if the world was free of greed from the highest level, and they implemented this idea to make advanced versions of this simple bottle, and implemented other sources of free energy? this video needs more views : /
@machicniii - the reality is that there is plenty of money to be made, just like the guy who was charging to install the units in the video. If a company wanted to come along and cheaply mass produce sealed / standardized / and easily installed (and replaced units) there is plenty of money to be made. The reality is that profit motive is the only thing that motivates people. Even green energy companies are motivated by profit (primarily through government subsidies).
@catluvnj chlorine = This prevents the water from turning green with algae. It makes no difference to the light except that it keeps the water transparent so that sunlight can get through easily.
@stannypk5k9 they have electricity still, they just save a bunch of money by not having to use it during the day. At night they will continue to use electricity as they did before.

This was pioneered in 2002 in Brazil. Not a Filipino invention. For further proof, click on the "Use a 2-liter bottle as a 50-watt light bulb" on your right (by KAWUNEARTH)...Give credit to the proper inventor.

Tap electricity free using sunlight aplenty. In dark, dingy rooms of slums this is a invention offer a boon to poor slum dwellers. With some contraption added to it, solar electricity can also be used in the night, when it is needed most.
they have electricity - just no sunlight during the day. they show them using electric lights - but, this is a way to bring in sunlight (like a sunroof), without the heat and without having the electric lights running all day long.
This is a DIY solution and I would like to sponsor 1000 lights. And if each of the half a million millionaires in the world would support the cause, there would be no physical darkness in any more homes, anymore

Clorine to stop algae and mold growth. Maybe would need a little alchohol in freezing climates.
Sweet idea.
They sleep at night. Or make babies.

they have electricity - just no sunlight during the day. they show them using electric lights - but, this is a way to bring in sunlight (like a sunroof), without the heat and without having the electric lights running all day long.

This is a DIY solution and I would like to sponsor 1000 lights. And if each of the half a million millionaires in the world would support the cause, there would be no physical darkness in any more homes, anymore

@MrHollyoake can I set up your donation for use in Zambia? I think it would be great if you're still willing to sponsor 1000 bottles!
