They've only made a handful of lanterns and one powering station.<BR/><BR/>The village shares a powering station with the Solar Panels. The solar lanterns are made from bamboo, clear bottles, and an LED circuit with rechargeable battery. This way they can be made almost entirely local materials and reuse waste materials.<BR/><BR/>See the following blurb on technology towards the bottom of this page:<BR/>http://www.prism-magazine.org/sept07/briefings.cfm<BR/><BR/>and the article here:<BR/>http://www.memagazine.org/contents/current/departments/input_output/input_out.htmlCassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04197050273899366191noreply@blogger.com
