What a brilliant idea!

A Brazilian mechanic has invented a way of lighting bulbs without electricity- using plastic bottles filled up with water and a splash of bleach.

The secret: Adding two capfuls of bleach to a bottle of water stops it from turning green when exposed to sunlight. He then drills a hole in a roof tile and pushes the filled bottle in from below. He keeps the bottle in place with polyester resin, which waterproofs the 'window' in his roof. More photos after the cut:

During a power shortage, it was his boss that first suggested the use of a plastic bottle filled with water as a lens to focus the sun's rays on dry grass and to light fires in case of an emergency. It was after then that Mr. Moser developed the concept into his Moser Light.

In a statement to the BBC World Service, he was quoted as saying: 'It's a divine light. God gave the sun to everyone, and light is for everyone. Whoever wants it saves money. You can't get an electric shock from it, and it doesn't cost a penny."

Wow..!!! The man should patent his invention immediately and not forget to fly to Nigeria asap too...we have plenty of water bottles and sunlight!!!

Re: Mechanic Creates Lighting Bulbs From Plastic Water Bottles! by caesaraba(m): 3:07pm On Aug 15, 2013
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.

On the creative side, it's cool. But it's not really productive......well except of course I find myself in a prehistoric times or in a very remote region without electricity.

This is not logical. Light is most needed at night and this will not work at night.

If it can't be used at night then Nigerians doesnt need it.
Re: Mechanic Creates Lighting Bulbs From Plastic Water Bottles! by ghettodreamz(m): 3:16pm On Aug 15, 2013
Interesting and good invention...

The only side effect is the fact that it can only work when there is sun-light (during day), whereas at night, no show.

Kudos to the inventor.
