Illuminating Window-Less Houses With a Plastic Bottle

New submitter DancesWithWolves writes "The BBC reports on Alfredo Moser, who came up with a way of illuminating his house during the day without electricity — using nothing more than plastic bottles filled with water and a tiny bit of bleach. In the last two years his idea has spread throughout the world. It is expected to be in one million homes by early next year.'"

Lighting on ships...

I've seen this type of lighting system before on old ships (USS Constitution, etc...).

Instead of a water they used glass blocks (or similar).

But, it's great to see a novel way of recycling trash into something beneficial! :)

Cheers!
