Filipino Ingenuity! Bringing light to the poor, one liter at a time.

This system is dependent on sunlight.

Mokiloo and Kentoy, instead of maglalis mo diri na thread, I think it would be better if we find ways to allow it to store the light so that it emits light even at night.

Makatabang pa mo...

para dili sila mag lalis tawag lang ta ug tawo na mo interviene.. c Florido.Blanco kaha? ahaha

[crybaby_p]

mao gyud...

and how about using the "invention" to spread the "light" into a greater area??

how about expanding the medium not just using a "liter" bottle but also using a clear 5 gallon container??

solar cells can address that concern to power the existing bulbs we have thus providing energy to emit electricity. problem is mahal ang solar cells.
ang kani na innovation would at least lessen the energy consumption to those who would still need lighting even at daytime. if naa paagi to harness this simple technology to be usable even at night time then mas maayo.

nice idea. but I prefer to have a transparent policarbonate materials roofing.. much convenient for me.

Mas barato cguro ghapon nang tubig ug bleach.

mao ni dapat sunod na steps. unsaon pag maximise nga ma afford ra ghapon.

so that would mean a bigger hole in the roof and a better view sa mga mamboboso hehehehe saon nalang.

but bitaw kidding aside any improvements on this would be a big help jud sa atong energy consumption. at least mas mubarato atong bayad sa electricity ba.

Does the source need to be the Sun? What if it's an artificial source of light like an electric bulb?

I am thinking of using plastic tubes nya adto magsubay ang tubig ngadto padung sa mga balay. Pwede kaha ni?

Something like this:

[phattchoi]

so meaning para ni sa dark rooms during the day time. so mura lang ni nag atop ka ug transparent gani na mu lusot ra ang ngit2x.

sakto c sand man na mas maau kung ma gamit ni sa gabi-i kay mao nay peak time sa energy consumption

so youre thinking about using artificial light at nightime, refract it to the bottles to illuminate the rest of the rooms? bitaw bro nice idea jud.

hehehe im not really familiar with light refraction or reflection but kani imo diagram seems to make sense bro. nice job
