After the successful campaign for school made from bottles, My Shelter Foundation established by Illac Diaz once again the community on how to saved electricity.
The Solar Bottle Bulb started from the students of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA.
How to build a Solar Bottle Bulb?
Using a 1 Liter Plastic Bottle, Filtered Water, Bleach, and a Rubber Sealant.
Cut approximately 9X 10 inches of GI sheet. (corrugated or Flat)
At the center of the GI sheet, draw 2 circles (outer; similar to the circumference of the soda bottle; while inner must be 1 cm smaller.) Cut the inner, smaller circle.
Cut the 1 cm difference radially, making strips and bend upwards, perpendicular to the GI sheet.
Using sandpaper, scratch the surface around the upper third portion of the soda bottle where the GI sheet will be placed, to allow the rubber sealant to stick better.
Insert the bottle into the GI sheet until the upper third. Apply rubber sealant on the strip above and around the area below. Wait to dry.
Fill the soda bottle with filtered water and 10ml or 2 bottle cap of bleach. Cover with its original cap.
The solar bottle bulb is now ready for installation!
Cut a hole on the roof, similar to the bottle circumference. Place the solar bottle bulb into the hole. Make sure it is firmly in place.
Drill 4 holes on each side of the solar bottle bulb using Bosch lithium-ion cordless drill and put in the rivets.
Apply rubber sealant around all edges of the GI sheet of the solar bottle bulb to avoid leakage. Make sure to cover the rivets. Place a protective plastic tube on the bottle cap and apply rubber sealant.
The Solar Bottle Bulb has been installed to provide a equivalent of 55 watts of light.
