Once again technology has done it. As the world struggles to go green, Products Company has powered the move by inventing a lamp that uses gravity to produce light. The lamp is supposed to empower third world countries by providing lighting solutions and reduce the risks involved in indoor pollution. World bank estimates that 780 million women and children inhale smoke from kerosene and firewood stoves which is equivalent to smoking 2 packets of cigarettes per day.

Another research showed that 244 million tonnes of carbon dioxide are produced from homes. The gravity lamp takes only 3 seconds to ashame darkness and it does not use batteries whatsoever, so non will be required for replacement or disposal. The inventors argue that the lamp is able to beat solar alternatives as it can work anytime and anywhere in the world.

This great invention will help poor families cut the cost of lighting and also be environmental friendly.
