[quote:Rose of Sharon:MV8xNjMxMjM1X0E0NTNBNjdD] Who says you can’t bottle (and distribute) genius? Developed in Brazil to address under-illuminated slums, this simple design idea has been adopted by MIT students and expanded to other developing areas where many low-income homes lack access to either daylight or electricity. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zMAWztZ6TI&feature=player_embedded [/youtube] The physics of the concept are straightforward: the bottles are placed in roofs – half outside, half inside – and their lower portions refract light like 60-Watt light bulb but without the need for a power source. A few drops of bleach serve to keep the water clear, clean and germ-free for years to come. http://dornob.com/solar-bottle-lamps-water-bleach-10000-liters-of-light/ [/quote]
