Not long now peoples, we are getting SO CLOSE NOW.........

Where the was once only darkness there is now only light.

Wow, Astrid, I love this. So many poor people live in huts like that in Central America as well, although fewer here in Costa Rica than in the other countries, like Honduras and Nicaragua. They could really benefit from it.

The question is how to distribute the idea to those areas.

I think I can hear Mr. Rothschild knocking at your door.

I think this one will go viral globally very fast, very easy to DIY also.

Only need to train up a handful in each area, its so doable.

It's magical, to come up with such a simple idea.

RT showed this in the news a couple of days ago.

Brilliant find, Astrid!

I grew up in S.E. Asia, and have seen what life in slums and shanty towns is like. This bottle light idea is so simple, and will take on like wildfire!

I'm forwarding the video to all I know. All it takes is a few people to make some bottles up and show how it's done- the rest will take care of itself.

Awesome, awesome, awesome!

Not to mention deals with the plastic bottle issue.
AND the health issues, light equals vitamin D3,
which means stronger immune systems.

Less illness, more productivity, no need for drugs.

Man they are going to have trouble with this one,
and i love the fact that we are using their consumer waste,
and turning it against their greed.

Its pure alchemy right there......

And win-win-win-win-win-win-win-win for evolution,
people that think it needs to be all SO HARD to fight back need to think again.
We don't need guns to and wars to fight back at all.

All it takes is for the creative human spirit to shine through.
I think people sometimes forget how resourceful they are.

Bucky Fuller would so love this one !!

Excellent idea, but that bottle won't last so long in some places.

[Unified Serenity]

There is a much more expensive version that I saw on a home repair show that uses natural light in a bendable skylight. It's very bright and would work well in countries like America. I just had two skylights done away with due to leaks though, so I am a bit weary of them, but free light is free light if you can just keep the water out.

Well, [un]fortunately it doesn't look like we're running out of spare bottle-bulbs soon...

[Ria]

BRILLIANT
Just found out how the supposed eco lights have mercury in, and how US family spent $2,000 getting their home decontaminated from a broken light bulb.

They use chlorine.

[Cjay]

The Philippines holds a very special place in my heart but the extreme poverty and corruption there saddens me and annoys me intensely.

That is such a simple and clever idea. Brilliant! (sorry, I couldn't resist the pun)
I assume the chlorine (probably household bleach) is used to prevent algae growing inside the bottle.

I would like to propose a minor change to the design. I suggest adding some phosphorescent chemical so the bottle provides light in the evening as well as in daylight.

There might be an issue with the chlorine and phosphorescent chemical inter-reacting. I invite any chemists among us to comment. StateOfTheHeart, are you reading this?

There is probably also an issue with the bottles being rapidly degraded by Ultra-Violet light and the extreme heat of a hot "tin" roof in the tropical heat. It would be a pain to have to replace the bottle-light every year or two.

...phosphorescence occurs because the phosphorescent chemical absorbs energy and slowly releases it in the form of light.

If you people REALLY want to make a difference you can do two things:

COMPREHEND this thread:

OR show it to somoene that can (a quantum mechanics professional idealy) and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT... this WILL change the world, the question is WHEN.
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...-video-series-

This will do so much more than some silly trash reuse... (not that the intent is bad here...)

[White Rabbit]

amazing! was it a little bit of chlorine they added to the water? I didn't catch it... simply simple!

[shadowstalker]

Take that you elitist money grubbers.
I am so ROFL
Now if they can find lighting for night time, I would keep ROFL

SOOOOOOO AWESOME

[cloud9]

As I understand it, this is for using it during the day as it works with the sun light, right? So it's a very simple solution for places and homes that need artificial light during the day but they still need to use regular bulbs at night.
