Alfredo Moser , a brazilian mechanic has gained the fame of becoming the world country's Thomas alva Edison, bringing out 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 innovation has spread throughout the world. It is expected to be in one million homes by early next year.
So What is the working principle? Simple refraction of sunlight, explains Moser, as he fills an empty two-litre plastic bottle."Add two capfuls of bleach to protect the water so it doesn't turn green [with algae]. The cleaner the bottle, the better," he adds.
The amazing fact is that the light due to the Moser’s lamp inside the home is almost equivalent to that of a 40-60 watts bulb based on the intensity of sunlight outside the home. Also one can save a very decent amount by installing these bulbs in the roofs.
The invention was invented in the year 2002, it laid dormant for few years and the recent years the idea has gained tremendous impact especially in the poor countries.
As per a report statement, In Philippines where a quarter of population lives below the poverty line, and electricity is usually very expensive, this idea of Moserlamp was fitted in around 1,40,000 homes and also analysts estimate that the installation may also take off in other 15 countries in the world like Bangladesh, Tanzania, and even India.

Mozer being very genuine, when asked about his idea, he said,
"It's a divine light. God gave the sun to everyone, and light is for everyone. Whoever wants it saves money. You can't get an electric shock from it, and it doesn't cost a penny." In today's world, when men run behind money, fame and name, Much is to be learnt from this great man !!
