SHINE THE LIGHT!!!
Everyone knows how important light
is to human and other living organisms in the world. Thinking about a bottle of water, the first
and probably the only thing one can think of is to consume the water from the
lifeless bottle itself. Well it appears there is more to a bottle of clean
water than it seems. With the use of bleach, it actually turns out that one can
create electricity or light in a dark room. Different people from parts of the
Philippines, Kenya, Tanzania,Uganda and alot more other countries are beginning
to witness the power of these three things i.e the bottle, water and bleach.
The Idea which was introduced by some MIT
students and developed by My shelter foundation is now paving way for a new way
of creating a greener environment. It has also offered and created hope for
living with people without access to electricity.
It might sound weird at first but
how does this works? First you get a clean bottle and fill it up with clean
water. Add a little bit of bleach into the bottle of water in order to prevent
algae from growing. When this process is done, you cut a hole in your roof and
place the bottle through the hole in such a way that half of the bottle is inside
the house and the other half is outside the roof. Seal the bottle with glue or
an adhesive in order to hold it firm. Immediately the sun hits the bottle, it
sends and the tilts the light from the sun through the bottle in to the dark
room to make light!
Organizations like the daylight
project in Kampala Uganda are distributing this idea freely to give light
to houses during the day temporarily. For sure this is a really green
innovation and it help to provide light to dark stricken slums and communities
all over the world. The video below further explains how the whole process can
be done.
