GravityLight launched a gravity lamp to bid farewell to traditional lighting energy

Creating a bright and secure future is the core of GravityLight, which is mainly used in areas where electricity is not available. As the winners of the 2015 Shell Springboard, GravityLight is a kind of gravity light launched by the London Design and innovation organization Deciwatt, provide more safe and clean way of lighting for some developing countries or regions, thus replacing dangerous kerosene lamps.

You know what? As of 2015, there are still 1 billion 100 million people can not use the lights. For these people, the only solution is to use harmful to the human body kerosene lamp. In fact, studies have shown that the inhalation of kerosene lamps emit toxic gases equivalent to 170 cigarettes a year, while the inadvertent ingestion of kerosene is the main cause of poisoning in children in developing areas. In addition to breathing problems, these kerosene lamps have also brought a lot of harm to the society. WHO estimates that in India alone, 1 million people a year suffer from moderate to severe burns due to a coal oil lamp.

The exploration of the great potential of gravity, GravityLight has solved the problem of not being able to use electricity and public health hazards, for those who most need it to bring a more secure future.

What the hell is this magic? In fact, under gravity, the sand bag is driven by gravity to move downward, pulling a chain, the chain drives the gear to rotate, thereby driving the generator to light the LED lamp. This is a chain reaction, and each time it reaches the ground, it generates enough energy to last for 20 minutes. The device will solve the problem of energy consumption in developing countries, because there is no cost after the initial purchase of GravityLight, and can be used for many years.

In the recent second successful all the chips and the support from Shell, The GravityLight Foundation on the 50 night trip in the middle reaches of Kenya over 50 villages, these villages found that people usually use hazardous kerosene lamps. Now, they can see GravityLight provide them with a new solution, more secure, clean and reliable energy.
