I don't get it. What's the advantage over roof windows?

Thanks basher, i saw that article in a Flipbook group called "good news" which i highly recommend.

 

He might win a Nobel prize for the Moser light, which if i remember will be in 1,000,000 homes worldwide by the end of the year, even allowing people to grow hydroponic gardens

It would never work in Manchester ...

Light at Night !!!

Moonlight maybe. But you get that with a window, too.

Its a clever idea if you live in a sunny country ... but a Nobel Prize for sticking a bottle of water in the ceiling ...?

Just my point of view ... whatever you were going to say ... we are probably not in agreement I suspect

Not so much a disagreement -- I tend to agree -- as a parallel thought, maybe not exactly applicable in this case 100% but, to an extent,

millions of people don't have electricity and this invention has brought indoor lighting to them in an affordable way. So from a certain POV its just a bottle of water in the ceiling, but because of that same simplicity it has changed the lives of millions of people living in sheet metal shacks who can't afford power, or don't have it available. Its very dao if you ask me, and I personally think its worth Nobel consideration. Nobody does shit for those people, and now they have indoor light!

Cool stuff. Makes me happy to see these people enjoying their life better than before and with less electricity. Found this vid which pretty much shows everything:

You are right of course and I am very glad that so many people's lives have been made better. I still don't think it should get a Nobel prize because as I understand it the criteria for such prizes is a little different.

Technically the Physics Prize could be awarded to him as per Nobel's will but it will be awarded to something more "high tech" as has always been the case.
