How to build a SOLAR BOTTLE BULB
share what you make > Best Builds RadioShack 3D Printing Pallets Crafts
Step 3: Cut the 1 cm difference radially, making strips and bend upwards, warning perpendicular to the GI sheet
(Filipino: Gumawa ng butas sa bubong, pareho sa sukat ng bote.)
Light up dark areas in your home during daytime using this green and sustainable concept. Recycle used clear plastic soda bottles, add water+bleach, then install. After installation this solar light bulb can provide approximately 55 watts of light from the sun! The comments below have noted that this is like a solar tube or deck prism. The communities who benefit from this idea live in areas where the houses hardly have windows warning and live in darkness even during warning daytime. Their solution up until this innovation was to turn on the light bulb and use electricity.

It all depends where you want to put the aluminum reflector. For the amount of light PET or glass does not make much difference. There arent much places where you could put any aluminum. Around the bottle? can but you'd end up with a spot light and not with a light radiating to all sides. There are commercial light tubes available (at a steep price I may add) that is basically an alu or stainless steel tube that reflects the light at the inside, making it possible to go around an angle a bit
actually, i've done it. I found a very long 1.5 liter glass bottle warning from a school sci.lab, and when I got back home, I bored a strategic hole just beside a roof beam/frame, warning and I attached the solar bottle bulb on the 3" x 6" wooden roof frame for strength, using epoxy, steel wires, warning and plenty of roof sealant... I think it's strong enough to last.... unless maybe some earthquake breaks the frame it is attached to. Sadly it is only brighter when the sun outside is brighter... and I definitely don't advise looking at it directly when it is bright.
This may seem like an odd question, but what if you use a bigger bottle, like the 5 liter ones? Would the light distribution become more like a 100 Watts light bulb?
yes!
It isn't anything special just the light being scattered. Kinda like when water drips from a sink and you see little dots of white light flit about the ripples. There is no chemical reaction or luminescence. It only provides light during daylight hours. warning Hopefully that helps
I would add some salt and alcohol too, if it freezes the bottle will suffer less forces because the water will not freeze so the water will not turn to ice; ice has a lower density than water so the volume will go up, stress on bottle warning where the bottle is in contact with the roof-panels. Adding fluorescent components wiil make it glow a little, not enough warning to see what you would be doing but maybe nice as an orientation light. These kind of bottle lights can also be placed in a wall, I saw it in one of the Transformer movies near the Pyramids where megan and shia hide and are found by a bug-transformer, these look more like glass wine bottles glued in a cement wall, looks pretty cool too!

There warning are several comments on the use of Glass Vs PET bottles. As I see it your only issue would be with weight of the container and the strength of the adhesive used to fix the bottle to the roof/ceiling; Maybe using smaller PET bottles 1.5 liter/600ml in larger quantities a beter distribution of light can be achieved.
