Suggestion: don't get stuck in dumb sniping at people who think outside the box. Illac Diaz has devised a wonderful eco friendly solution to the problem of lack of electricity in many regions. He has improved the lives of hundreds of thousands in the developing world. Kids can read and do homework, mothers can cook and do chores, people are safer in their homes, there are far less accidental fires. Hey, sounds good to me. You naysayers - y'all got a better idea?

In my opinion, it doesn't matter who discovered or invented it. What matters most, it is shared to our less fortunate "kababayan" that might help them a little bit on their daily lives on such living condition. I hope our government can do more to improve their situation not only with them in the slums but to all Filipinos. (not mentioning corruption, etc.)

solving problems themselves with materials at hand = independence and growth and evolution of new ideas...this is how it should be... people solving problems at the micro-level can become a macro-level solution free of giant corporate influence...This is like 150 years ago here, when people were inventing things because they needed to...this is good... this is organic

[@ArnabSil]

Good initiative, But - Why complicate things so much? Just a transparent Corrugated roof (Plastic or glass-wool instead of metal) would be simple to put and provide MUCH MORE light, no? (I know they are available - but don't know if they are way too expensive compared to the Metal Sheets)..

[@amoringis]

+Arnab Sil common sense Man!!!!! Transparent corrugated roof does not produce light at night.

[@ArnabSil]

Do you think some water with a little bleach in a bottle can produce light at night..! Strange example of common sense I must say..!!

[@kimonelaos]

yeah sure a simple plastic roof must do the same

[@zareerhz3454]

Arnab Silly, it seems you are deaf! who on earth said that you will get light at night through the water bottle!? if you are not deaf watch the video again and see how and when the water bottle gives light!

[@rumblefish9]

transparent corrugated roof is just too expensive something like $25 compared to say $15 for the metal one. Plus, its not widely available and I doubt it can withstand the typhoons (we get about 20 a year) that bombard the islands.

light inside during day, they need the addition of solar collectors to light it during the night

ILAC DIAZ IS NOT THE INVENTOR OF THIS LIGHT BOTTLE, IT'S ALFRED MOSER FROM BRAZIL IN 2002!

[@whiner00]

+jpopluvr Its not being arrogant its to give credit to the guy that came up with the idea. This guy Diaz is getting recognition for a idea that is not his

[@rumblefish9]

whiner00 meribe amaya Diaz never claimed it was his. DW just assumed. He fully credits the inventor in the BBC write up saying: "Alfredo Moser has changed the lives of a tremendous number of people, I think forever," he says."Whether or not he gets the Nobel Prize, we want him to know that there are a great number of people who admire what he is doing." Did Moser himself imagine that his invention would have such an impact? "I'd have never imagined it, No," says Moser, shaking with emotion."It gives you goose-bumps to think about it." www.bbc.com/news/magazine-23536914 Look, if Moser himself was deeply touched that his invention sparked a grassroots movement that has now been adapted all over the world... shouldn't you stop whining about it? Liter of light didn't just stop with this lamp, they created a solar powered desklamp and the LED night light is theirs. They've freely given out schematics and have moved on to using bottles as a possible bricks for homes. Give credit were its due. The invention was started by Moser but Diaz was responsible in getting it to as many countries as possible. *When you're trying to help people in need have the most basic things, it doesn't really matter who came up with it first.*

[@raviphagan3950]

We spend thousands on building windows in walls and thousands more on electricity, candles ,kerosene etc. If this one is adopted by all then it will be beneficial not only for poor people but also overcoming environmental issues.

[@dimitrisargyropoulos6912]

A window is always a better solution. It helps the air to travel through the house, you can see outside, light of the sun comes much more from a window than the bottles shown here, and you can even communicate with other people through the windows. I don't know what is the problem of philipines with windows, but the rest of the world uses them.
