Solar power facts tells us that we must adopt and use as much as we can this energy if we want to protect the earth and save the planet.

Gravity Light -Lamp that Shines

Gravity Light – Lamp that Shines without Electricity or Batteries

 

Most of us take electricity for granted, seeing it as a normal part of the civilized world.

However, in many countries, electricity is a luxury that people can only dream of.

Jim Reeves and Martin Radford is a team of two designers / innovators who are working on innovation that should be an alternative to fuel lamps .

Many people will welcome this innovation in homes around the world, including those in third world countries.

Gravity Light or gravitational lamp is the name of their innovation that has to make free and cheap light wherever she’s gone.

Gravity Light is cheap mainly because it is a simple design.

In fact, the small movable mechanism drives a dynamo connected to an LED lamp.

The mechanism is powered by a simple plastic bag that is filled with stones or earth.

Gravity is the one that performs all the work and that moves bag slowly down.

Bag sets in motion the mechanism that is limited to a small constant speed which is sufficient to drive the dynamo that powers the lamp.

So with a lifting of a full bag to some specified high until she reaches the ground light can shine for about 30 minutes.

To start the lamp to illuminate again all you need is to attach the bag at the top and cycles will again begin to repeat.

To put it again in a position to start to generate light it takes about 3 seconds.

On this way it avoids the use of batteries or need of any source of electricity.

The lamp can work as long as it does not break or exceed the planned working hours for such a lamp.

Although at the moment Gravity Light is selling the lamp for $ 10, the designers expect over time the price to be reduced to $ 5.

In order to raise funds for the development of this project, its creators raise funds through what is known as crowd funding.

So far they through indiegogo.com have collected much more than they had initially.

However, they are hoping to rise even more as Gravity Light would fall into series production and would be available to more people in the third world.
