It would be cooler if they used old beer and whiskey bottles. Old mayonaise and mustard jars, pickle jars, etc.
Also they should try to grow crops on the floor under the bottles, and have a few iguanas living inside that would bask under the sunlight.

That way, after the old lady gets thru showing how bright her bathroom is, she could impress everybody by grabbing a machete in the kitchen and whacking off the heqad of an iguana-fresh iguana meat with rice and beans.

So far on this thread you have learned how to: Make a skylight and a hot tub. Now I will teach you how to collect rainwater as if by magic.
You will need a roof,gutters, and a barrel. Cut one of your downspouts to allow your barrel to fit. Remove bung from barrel. Align cut downspout to opening in barrel. If the gutters are clean rain will flow into the barrel. It is recommended you sterilize your water before consuming.
Quoting: BRIEF AND TO THE POINT
Stop trolling around. We realized you didnt get the point.
Make a hole in your roof - watch how much light gets in. Then you place the bottle and compare how much more light comes in.
First try - then troll or
There are many videos about the topic. Just do your own research...
How to cool your house,or shack, when it's hot and stuffy: Cut holes in your roof to allow heat to escape. If it rains simply plug hole with two liter bottles filled with water. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

Why not leave the bottles empty so they would collect delicious rainwater to drink and water the crops and iguanas with?

BTW I don't consider it trolling because I'm trying to make people see what a dumb idea this is. My goal is to protect people from punching holes in their roof so they can have light in the daytime. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

And don't forget. Holes can also be cut into the walls for beer bottles or old pickle jars just laying around. If they are removable, simply remove the bottle and pee through the hole and replace the bottle. Free light and sewer.

OK nice you made me think of a nice invention that should be pinned. called "rain collector flower watering hole in tin roof with a 2 liter bottle to plug it up and catchs water to give iguana's a home" 50$ each.... anyone interested in having iguanas and flowers chilling under a tin roof?
But i dont think ill have much of a market around here because every single house around here doesnt have ghetto roofs... besides all those 3rd world places...why not just get one of those lamps you wind up and stay on for like 30 min.
Came across this video and thought I would share it with GLPers.
where's the link???
There is none. Just you tube. By the way, I think you need to leave the bottle out in the sun all day, or at least part of it, then it would work at night. I think.
Quoting: wormwood
Come on now. Use logic here. These are not GLOWING bottles. They only work during the day and act as a light collector and diffuser with the tops sticking out through the roof.
Sun hits tops of bottles protruding through roof
Light reflects back and forth inside bottle transferring light to portion of bottle inside the house
Bottle acts as a diffuser for natural sunlight...
Pretty simple. We call these in America sun roofs/sun lights/sky lights
Leave it outside all day
Have another

Re: Use a 2-Liter Bottle as a 50 Watt Light Bulb lightbulb
One thing I will add to my post above is that the concept is more efficient than a a sunlight/tube of similar size as they only produce the light in the linear direction of the light recess itself. The fluid filled bottle is certainly more efficient, but you sure as hell won;t see me cutting holes in my roof to accommodate them.
However, if they were to design a sky light along these lines with a greater aesthetic appeal, I would consider installing them...
Come on people lets think outside the box and use our brains a little bit. This is actually a great thing to know. Would you want to punch holes in the ceiling of your home to implement these, probably not. But, think about how this could be used in a bug out shelter that you've had to construct during an emergency. I've built shelters in the woods several times and one thing that they lack is windows and lighting. In a good secure shelter you are not going to have much light even during the day. These bottle lights would be a perfect solution to get some light inside your shelter during the day.

Don't be so quick to dimiss ideas, even if they seem ghetto and impractical in today's world. You don't know what your future may hold.
When TSHTF, I hope you haven't spent the last twenty years jeering at people who have been trying to share knowledge. Of course I am not going to go out and cut a hole in my roof this afternoon! It wouldn't make any sense to do so.
Nevertheless, this is one more tiny piece of information for my future storehouse of knowledge.
It would be stupid to utilize it right now (that's pretty obvious), but I am grateful for OP's intention to share even a tiny piece of know-how.
Novel thinking will be valuable in our future world.
Actually, given the current state of things, I think it is wise that the mods pinned this. In the event of TEOTWAWKI, electricity is going to be in short supply and most of the men in this nation need every tip they can get to survive and try to be more comfortable when and if that day comes.
I figure if everything came to a screeching halt, 2/3rds of the men in this nation would have no idea how to survive. Every little piece counts

Grant it, it's a novel idea but totally impractical m'pet!
Unless you live in a warehouse, window-less factory, an airplane hanger, a cave that has a roof or a pup-tent, I don't see the advantage of this. Most people live in a dwelling with windows. Most people would probably opt wisely not to punch holes in their ceiling unless they have a bunch of houseplants they can line up underneath these soda bottles for when it rains.
Again, clever idea but not quite patent worthy! Facilitating The Flow
