@ridingbikes4life People in the slums have homes tightly packed together. There are no windows, and the only way sunlight would get in is if they couldn't find enough pieces of scrap metal/boards to make a fully sealed roof. Would you like your house to be pitch black inside during the day? :P

@LinuxTheBestOs haha ..good question ..well then they could as well ...not have roof at all.but Obviously they need the shade on the other hand they could just put a window on the roof coz this light bulb does not go off anyway
I cannot believe the negativity coming from some of you. As many others have said, consider where some of these folks are living, whether they even have windows. I have a friend that lived in a desolate area and had only a small solar powered generator that would keep her laptop and one light going for about two hours. So even then, during the day, there would be no need for electricity as we know it in the darkest area of the huts or houses. I say this is something wonderful
At an average of $200-$1000 for one skylight here in the US, this provides a very low cost option for homeowners to have the benefit of a skylight without spending more than $20.00. A whole celing of bottle lights could be made to light up a study area in the day without using any power using this idea. Thanks for the great work you are doing and keep posting your great ideas for all to benefit from.
at jackatube , here in the Philippines, especially in Manila, most houses have no windows because they are ti much close to each other, visit the Philippines and you will realize what we are talking about, hindurupot ka
There are alot of dumbasses in this world , if you cant figure out that this only works because of the sun. If you thought or asked if this would work at night please kill yourself immediately. Thank you.
AS PER THE VIDEO, THE HUTS ARE BEING ILLUMINATED DURING DAY LIGHT OUTSIDE AND AS THESE HUTS DO NOT HAVE ANY SOURCE OF LIGHT, EVEN DURING DAY TIME. WILL YOU PLEASE MAKE IT CLEAR THAT WHETHER THIS ASSET IS HELPFUL DURING NIGHT/ DARK HOURS, TOO?
you know this is bad you are taking away poor mans thunder here is the guy who did it first and he had been doing it for a while, at least have some courtesy give some credit.
imagine.. this is for the people who has less sanitary house. the live in the slum, the don't have money for electricity. so be wise to leave a comment. and appreciate other people who try to help another.
yaaay free energy fuck a power company. i would make 1 of these but my roof is not compatible,plus it only works during the day =/ i have too many windows for this.
While these people are putting holes in their roof with water bottles to make light, I am watching this video on my iPad while burning 200 watts an hour whith useless servers running.
@crouching28 It may be 2011 but in the philippines it's a very poor country and in the villages they don't have luxury's like we do in the states. The point of all this is that instead of them wasting money on electricity they can have a better source that cost them nothing. Sure at night they need lights but they can use their candles at that time instead of wasting it in the daylight.
@MissSweetieAngie Hi see, I've never been out of the US, so it is hard for me to understand what it is like in other countries. I thought Asia was prosperous being that they make a lot of the stuff we buy...
@crouching28 In some parts yes they can be a little more wealthy but america doesn't buy many Philippine products. America receives rice from Philippines as a payment for america helping Philippines out years ago and due to half the produce coming here they are very poor in many places. China and japan make alot more of the products for america then the Philippines. You have to remember that that there different parts of asia and some are more poor then wealthy.
@crouching28 Also watch the original version of this video called "Isang Litrong Liwanag ADVERTISEMENT" and you will see how the village part is like and how this is a great discovery for them.
oh so it is light refraction, i thought it was some magic when you add bleach to water. that means they can only use it in the morning,dayum at least they save their electricity bill.
Brilliant idea, will revolutionise the lives of poor people around the world. This was invented in Brazil in 2002. Theres a video in English here at youtube.com/watch?v=_zMAWztZ6TI&feature=related.
Now, it is MUCH easier for the thieves to get into the houses and steal stuffs! :) No more need for drilling the roof, there is already a big hole !! GREAT!
@netr0pa2 if you're actually using your head, it won't be worth trying to steal from a poor man's house. And how is anyone going to fit in a hole the size of a pet bottle?
"The bottle bulb was inspired by engineer Amy Smith, from the D-Lab in MIT. Diaz started experimenting with the "Solar Bottle Bulb" technology after watching YouTube videos of her work in Haiti." - CNN
@sloturle mostly slums in manila, because of overpopulation. but the rest of the country is great. familiar with the story of the country boy going to the big city to have a good life? well that's mostly the case here...
Brilliant idea but let us hope when in place people do not become very thirsty and drink the lights with the added bleach. Health and safety can make sense sometimes.
I have watched this video 3 years ago. I guess they have the same idea. :) Type in: "Use a 2-Liter Bottle as a 50 Watt Light Bulb lightbulb hack" The video was uploaded 3 years ago and there could something earlier than that.
yeah but what happens on cloudy rainy days and what happens when u want to turn off the lights? i guess they can cover it up with a bucket or something, is still an amazing idea but im just saying.
@DSN107 well on cloudy days, It's still better than nothing. Believe it or not, when it's cloudy there are still UV rays coming through the clouds, light. And The whole purpose of these is to have lights during the day or evening when they need them, at night when they would want to turn it off they are sleeping anyway, But yeah I too think it was extremely smart.
I am here in Guatemala now and we are going to start making these solar bottle bulbs right away. I finally found this group on Facebook and they are going to send me instructions: A Liter of Light (Isang Litrong Liwanag)
Next to figure out how to store the solar energy to be able to use it at night.What a great start! This is going to change EVERYTHING.
Polyethylene Terephthalate materials cannot withstand extreme temp. It’ll not last that long according to its cost, considering it’s cost effective. I have seen many houses used translucent roofing materials most common in CRs and kitchens. Its refraction effect allows light to pass and illuminate the room, not glare your eyes like that one. Helping is good form of publicity that’s why I see it halfheartedly narrow-minded people cannot see that, sadly major % of Filipino peepz.
Sorry for those emotional ones. If you want to assess the problem go to the roots, not just chopping leaves and branches so in time you can chop it again. It's a good invention, good utilization, but to address a problem like that? it's a bread for beggars; ye you helped that beggar and those people saw you were amazed, you are a hero, because they are ignorant to do it by themselves. It's a good act, but somehow I know better that's why I'm not amazed.
@dhaiz06 Well, the Isang Litrong campaign has also put out flyers and youtube tutorials but it's not like these people out there really have access to those, do they? When the baker goes to the beggar's and shows him how to bake a bread and where to find an endless supply of flour, he IS being amazing.
Okay, here's an addition: paint the interior of these homes with phosphorescent paint to prolong the exposure to light. Paint the exterior of homes that border major streets if night lamps are non-existent. Remember how long the glow-in-the-dark toys emitted light? Find the optimum materials and cost then deploy.
@botanipath in another video that talks about the application process, bleach is added to the water to prevent the green tinting or any tinting for that matter...
@qcking666 So anyone who has an opinion is a troll? You are comprehension delinquent.
What does insulation have to do with sealing? Insulation is a temperature barrier, not a sealant. Strike two delinquent. Lets stick to logic here and not your emotion.
@keithallenlaw Sorry if my english is not perfect, i meant a insulation for water ( Wich is a sceallant ) My emotion is very good by the way. And if you watch another video of them you'll clearly see they are using a 100 % waterproof sceallant around the bottle and around the metal that goes in the roof of their house. Peace
@keithallenlaw I personally wouldn't either, but that doesn't make it a stupid idea. This was proposed to help the unfortunate people who live in squaters, who unlike many of us, don't have electricity. And like what qcking666 attempted to explain, after they install the bottles on the roof they put a rubbery paste around it that when it dries it is waterproof, hence it stops rain water from leaking in. I'm not trying to hate on you or anything, don't take it the wrong way c:
Inspiring idea which shows that very simple ideas can change people's lives - have added link to Institution of Sustainbility Professional website webisp.org
I've read the comments and it saddened me that some of you doesn't seem to see the point. It's not who invented this, it's helping people. Sometimes we fail to see the whole story. Others doubt Mr. Diaz' s intention. I'm not a fan of Mr. Diaz nor do I know him. I just admire people of his kind. And we should be inspired by these people and help others in our own little ways
Or just use a translucent Acrylic/Polycarbonate/PVC roofing instead of Galvanized Iron sheets. It's cheaper, cool and you can even find some at a scrap shop. Is he a politician? nice publicity.
@dhaiz06 no there's a difference. the bottle acts as a lens + refractor, so it is able to redirect more light and spread it across a wider area then simply a having a whole in the roof.
@dhaiz06 - no he is not a politician. He just have a big heart. And I pity you that you can't see the point here... That's what happen if you have an envious heart...
hey people, the issue here is not who invented the thing, the main issue is helping others. ang taong ito walang pakialan kung taga saan ang nag imbinto ang sa kanya makatulong sa kapwa mahirap.
This is a terrific project and video, since it explains the light refraction at work. I've seen lots of videos but like the detailed construction sequences as well. Can't wait to try this Solar Bottle Bulb in Guatemala. Any more info, please contact CatherineTodd2 at gmail - Thanks!
@Brutalityonearth Answer here - search youtube for Isang Litrong Liwanag ADVERTISEMENT - It talks about how close together their homes are, and therefore dark
@fernandofariajunior Because the houses are so close together there are no windows, just a crack that's totally dark, which is all you'd see through a window.
@fernandofariajunior Many homes these areas are close together and would mean light at only certain times of the day. While you could have a sunroof window, it would only allow light in from certain angles and one direction. You would end up with one really bright spot with everything else dark. The bottle with water however would stick out form the roof taking into light rays from every direction and refract the light rays in every direction into the space below. =)
@sacoldplay To keep bacteria from growing in the water, which would eventually make it murky and necessitate replacing the water and cleaning the bottle. With bleach, it probably stays clear a lot longer.
Love love this! I work in Paliparan where this is needed so I am sharing this on my facebook wall too!! for all my Filipino 'family' and friends :) Thank you!
I'm not being racist or what but what the point doing this? If i want light in my house, i would just open my windows and doors. Plus on night, your bottle light bulbs wont work if there is no SUN LIGHT.
@XeonSam These people are poor and living in very tight quarters, where the houses are all tightly packed together. You open the windows and doors and not enough light will come through. The only way the light is able to reach the houses is through the top. And if you open your roof you have no protection. Many people's lives have been improved because of this. Try searching for other videos with "Isang Litrong Liwanag". I don't think you're racist, just ignorant.
@HairyWoodhen this project are for the people who can't afford to pay for electrical bills because of poverty. Of course who would rather do this if they have light bulbs and electricity that they can afford?
I always used to ask my Physics professor "how can I possible contribute anything to society with what you teach me?" (talking about light refraction)
It is really wise innovation that would help millions around the world. It would be a pleasure for me to apply it for our poor communities in the rural areas of my country – Ethiopia. Is there anything that I should do receiving permission from the owners of the project? Thank you!
You can add a cone to reflect more light. A cone can be made with aluminium cans, paper card + aluminium foil, or just bright (white or sliver) paper card.
i am thinking of this technique for a remote area in the Sahara desert in Northern Mali. the houses are of sand bricks , "banco" & straw; they might have access to corrugated roofing, but does the technique absolutely require purified water? the only water they have is dirty & unpurified, from a well 115 metres deep. They are starting to sterilise water by leaving it in sunlight x 6 hours minimum, UV rays sterilise the water. (Dr Kevin McGuigan research) Wd that water be Ok for lights?
Sorry people wasn't trying to be a dick just curious

What great ingenuity. ANd essentially free and easy for anyone to make. TOo bad someone has to be negative about ideas like this.

I've read the comments and it saddened me that some of you doesn't seem to see the point. It's not who invented this, it's helping people. Sometimes we fail to see the whole story. Others doubt Mr. Diaz' s intention. I'm not a fan of Mr. Diaz nor do I know him. I just admire people of his kind. And we should be inspired by these people and help others in our own little ways

Or just use a translucent Acrylic/Polycarbonate/PVC roofing instead of Galvanized Iron sheets. It's cheaper, cool and you can even find some at a scrap shop. Is he a politician? nice publicity.

@dhaiz06 no there's a difference. the bottle acts as a lens + refractor, so it is able to redirect more light and spread it across a wider area then simply a having a whole in the roof.
And anyway, you want a home, not a green house.

This is a terrific project and video, since it explains the light refraction at work. I've seen lots of videos but like the detailed construction sequences as well. Can't wait to try this Solar Bottle Bulb in Guatemala. Any more info, please contact CatherineTodd2 at gmail - Thanks!

I've seen other versions of this, but this one explains the refractive effect and why that makes a difference.

But this only works during the day... why not just open the window?

@fernandofariajunior Because the houses are so close together there are no windows, just a crack that's totally dark, which is all you'd see through a window.
TheAuntieBa 5 months ago
@fernandofariajunior Many homes these areas are close together and would mean light at only certain times of the day. While you could have a sunroof window, it would only allow light in from certain angles and one direction. You would end up with one really bright spot with everything else dark. The bottle with water however would stick out form the roof taking into light rays from every direction and refract the light rays in every direction into the space below. =)

why the bleach?
sacoldplay 5 months ago
@sacoldplay To keep bacteria from growing in the water, which would eventually make it murky and necessitate replacing the water and cleaning the bottle. With bleach, it probably stays clear a lot longer.

and the water inside the bottle heats up during the day, which prevent the growth of algae and other bacterium on the surface of the bottle
qwety3r 5 months ago
@qwety3r adding few tea spoons of bleach could keep it clean from algae and others, as sometime the sunlight might not be strong enough.

@mastereos i mean the outside of the bottle, and greenhouse effect will do the rest of the heating

I'm not being racist or what but what the point doing this? If i want light in my house, i would just open my windows and doors. Plus on night, your bottle light bulbs wont work if there is no SUN LIGHT.
XeonSam 5 months ago
@XeonSam These people are poor and living in very tight quarters, where the houses are all tightly packed together. You open the windows and doors and not enough light will come through. The only way the light is able to reach the houses is through the top. And if you open your roof you have no protection. Many people's lives have been improved because of this. Try searching for other videos with "Isang Litrong Liwanag". I don't think you're racist, just ignorant.

@XeonSam These people DON'T have windows and instead live and work in a small box with no access to daylight most of the time.
This simple idea could be a life changer.

but kung titingnan natin, we can say that it can help about 1% of our population (just an estimate)...
that 1% will help a lot sa ating nature :>
... unless, bibilhan mo ang 1% na yan ng tranlucent pvc roof na sinasabi mo

You can add a cone to reflect more light. A cone can be made with aluminium cans, paper card + aluminium foil, or just bright (white or sliver) paper card.

i am thinking of this technique for a remote area in the Sahara desert in Northern Mali. the houses are of sand bricks , "banco" & straw; they might have access to corrugated roofing, but does the technique absolutely require purified water? the only water they have is dirty & unpurified, from a well 115 metres deep. They are starting to sterilise water by leaving it in sunlight x 6 hours minimum, UV rays sterilise the water. (Dr Kevin McGuigan research) Wd that water be Ok for lights?
