caesaraba: This one is more expensive than buying bulbs na! Haba! From getting the water bottles, filling them up with water and adding bleach. Then to the unthinkable boring of holes in the roof and using adhesives to hold the bottles in place! Why not buy 50 naira bulb that can serve you both during the day and most importantly at night. Haba, so if u buy N50 bulb to serve both day and night, do u get the light free or u do not remember ur meter or almighty PHCN. Do u think before u talk? Compare the overtime usage of electricity with this concept that only has a fixed cost at the beginning: the cost of bleach, and adhesives. 1 Like |

As far as I am concerned, this is far from impressive and it's surprising that anyone will want to give this cheap publicity. The big question which answer appears obvious is "what happens in the night, when the sun cease to shine". This is poor. The researcher should take a step further and find a way to conserve the illumination within the bottle at least for a night long with the hope of recharge soon by the morning!...... If you want to make a case for day time....consider the tropics where rains and rainstorms can be really an issue, also think of high rise buildings. Why can I simple use a transparent PVC roof where I want light from sunshine during the day? I am not cool with the adhesive resin thing...what's the durability. Well may be this will pass for bush bars application " la be igi".... |

Quite old. It originated from INDIA and not Brazil. It's been used by many NGO's to light up household in rural areas without electricity. |

It's a good job & it's divine. But how can we make it work @ night? |
Re: Mechanic Creates Lighting Bulbs From Plastic Water Bottles! by redsun(m): 4:29pm On Aug 15, 2013 |
Somehow they might find a way to store the sun heat in the plastic to make it work at night like the solar panel.Or probably just work with the ray only. |

Think and read carefully before typing. It is to serve you when when there is power outage during the day. unless of course ur 50 naira bulb can power itself. |

According to the World Bank, the inventor is Alfredo Moser (use Google). For now, its application is limited to day-time in human settlements (e.g. slums) where rooms are in darkness day or night. I read someone (SayITnw) write something about seeking cheap publicity on nairaland for such a great and in-use concept. How much publicity does an idea that is already on the website of a global financial institution need. "Nada"!!! Not from nairaland. How could this be more expensive than buying electric light bulbs (ELB)? You pay for the ELB as well as the electricity. How much energy goes into production of the ELB and the electricity, which are likely produced from non-renewable sources. More so, some energy that is converted from electric energy to light energy by some bulbs is lost as heat. The initial cost of the solar light bulb (SLB) will likely be recouped over the life time of its use. The other benefits (i) wastes bottles are recycled and reused (ii) in the long-term the amount of waste-bottles that end up in landfills is reduced and the energy cost for transportation of wastes-bottles to the dump/landfill is reduced (iii) it empowers individuals installing the solar light bulbs to generate income (electric bulb makers are large corporation not individuals). Other indirect benefits include less green-house warming (think about the production processes used for electric light bulb production, the CO2 from electricity generation, and the CO2 released during transportation of wastes bottles to the landfill). Young Nigerians need to learn to think holistically, so that they do could better than their parents who successfully put the country in the mess that it is in now. |

yunfazz: What a brilliant idea! |
Re: Mechanic Creates Lighting Bulbs From Plastic Water Bottles! by mozeybee: 7:43pm On Aug 15, 2013 |
[quote author=mozeybee. As much as much credit should be given to such seaming creativity, I have reservations on its need. 1. U have to drill through the roof. what should a man in the ground floor of a multi-storey building drill? 2. Even if the bleach keeps the water colourless, what will keep the "plastic " bottles from melting after persistent solar radiation absorption? Common sense will tell that plastic will contract/shrink/melt when exposed to solar radiation beyond its thermal limit. 3. Even if you aren't living under storey buildings, why perforate ur roof (giving room to leakage during rainfall) when a transparent roof would simply do? I've seen many warehouses with such desings to allow sunlight in from the roof. 4. Again, since it only works in the day, why drill the roof when the windows would let in sunlight anyway? 5. Finally, electricity gives us much more than lightning the room. Can the mosar bulb power the electrical appliances in the house? I really commend the trial but it isn't SCIENCE since there is no TRANSFER OF ENERGY. Thinks about it - It's just LIGHT ENERGY to LIGHT ENERGY. 1 Like |
