The Bounty Bar Kid Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Very clever and possibly life altering for some people in some countries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Perfect for countries that get a lot of sun. I might try this in my garden shed (although it'll only work one day a year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Interesting for sure, but still dark when the sun goes down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Why not just put a window in the roof ? I guess a window costs a lot more than £1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Why not just put a window in the roof ? I guess a window costs a lot more than £1 And refraction wouldn't occur....... Simple but genius idea, saw this on tv I though a year or so ago but it can't have been that long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmr1980 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I saw this a few years ago when it was first reported, it's amazing to see how it has spread across the world reaching even the poorest of places. As for a window, it would create more heat, and glass is expensive, furthermore if you use Perspex, which is expensive too, would cloud over. This stops moss building up thanks to the bleach, and actually refracts the light, more than just a straight window would offer, it provides illumination.
