World’s Cheapest Light Bulb Made from a Plastic Bottle

A plastic bottle stuck in the roof can light up a room for over 2 years!


An extremely cheap alternative to other light source options has been introduced in Brazil and the Philippines using basic everyday materials to create light which can last for over 2 years for domestic use. This very plain and simple bright concept is bringing light to many poor people without access to electricity. The idea generates light from solar energy equivalent to a 55 watt bulb from a single plastic bottle!!


The materials needed are 1.5 litre plastic bottle, clean water, 3 table spoons of common bleach and a rubber seal. Its working principle is dumb simple: The water defracts (scatters in different directions) the individual rays of sunlight allowing it spread throughout the house instead of focusing on one point. The common bleach keeps the water pure and free from microorganisms.

Solar Panels to Power Juno Spacecraft to Jupiter

By Lanre Okanlawon

History was made last Friday as the first solar-powered spacecraft was launched into space  to Jupiter using solar panels instead of radioisotope generators. NASA’s Juno is presently on its way to Jupiter where there is an ongoing quest to unlock the largest known planet’s mysteries. The $1.1 billion voyager was launched from an Air Force Station in Florida, USA . The entirely “green” spacecraft will carry the 1.5-inch figurines of the Roman god Jupiter Galileo and his wife, Juno. These were designed and constructed by LEGO to inspire and encourage young kids to explore science and technology. Juno will be making a 5-year cruise and is expected to land on Jupiter in July, 2016.

Its name, Juno, is derived from the Greek-Roman myth where god Jupiter covered himself with a large amount of clouds to conceal himself in order to hide his mischief. It was his wife, Juno, who found a way into the clouds to see his true nature. Interesting, right??? J
