pang cave man naman kasi yan ganyan invention.....

mag lalagay ka ba nyan sa bahay mo?

bubutasin mo ba bubong mo dyan?

mas malaki pa ang cost mo dyan kesa bumile ka ng LED BULDS...

Good news to para sa mga bosero.
Pwede naman window na glass tapos meron lang grills. Yung sa amin pag itinaas yung blinds sobrang liwanag.

Just improve the battery para solar power will be more efficient and cost-effective.

Yung tipong for the same size, almost twice the energy can be stored and the battery could last twice as long din. So in effect parang 50% disocunt sa current rates.

Plus improve ba LED's na lights and inverter appliances.

Its a stop-gap measure. It wasn't really intended to replace the light bulb, but just an alternative means of lighting places without the need to use electricity.

Some people will appreciate the technology behind the invention, and some will only see the negative. Madaling bumili ng bulb or mag-install ng skylight kung meron kang pambili. Its a better alternative than seeing people stealing electricity from the grid through illegal connections.

how can that "invention" change the world?

it's a freaking light bulb for daytime use

buti sana kung pang gabi na di kailangan ng kuryente

It is pretty ingenious but I wouldn't exactly call it world-changing.

it's not gonna change the world really. just improve the lives of people at the bottom of the barrel. the title is just using sensationalism to attract attention.

Sana water will also work like an optic fiber. Para yung light will pass through the tubig from the plastic bottle could be extended to another location.

That's the whole point of using water. It scatters the light.

If you just put a hole in the roof, the light will go straight down. Diffract it through water and it fills the whole room.

LED bulbs still cost a lot. An LED bulb that is as bright as a solar light is around 250 (super cheap) to 600 pesos (regular price).

Many public buildings, offices and modern homes are built to take advantage of natural lighting. Our new City Hall has a lot of natural light, so even if all the hallways are equipped with LED bulbs, they're almost never on, not like the old, enclosed City Hall.

-

The typical baro baro in the slum is built wall-to-wall with the next baro baro... and there's very little natural lighting to be had from open windows. A solar bulb like this is much less expensive than a natural skylight or even installing a light bulb (needs bulb, mount, switch, electrical wiring, etcetera). It can be done for just a hundred bucks (retail... cost to do is just 50 pesos). It's not useful the entire day, but it can cut down on the need for electricity. If it saves a household 100-200 pesos a month... with the only maintenance cost being to replace the water every few months... isn't it worth it?

It may look funny to us, but it's cost-effective engineering. Which is why people are praising it.

State of the Art Pinoy engineering.

Next, the PhUV naman.
