One in five people in the world lack electricity at home. For them, the day ends at sunset.<\/p>\n
Until now, the solution had been to use kerosene lamps, but these are expensive, harmful to the environment, and easily flammable.<\/p>\n
Two English inventors have found a better solution. It's called Gravity Light and it doesn't need batteries or even an electrical current: just gravity. It uses a mechanism that transforms a 12 kilogram weight into electricity. Not only are these flashlights cheaper than kerosene lamps, they're also five times brighter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jim Reeves says that his vision extends far beyond Gravity Lights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n'This is not only about product. We want to create local jobs, skills and livelihoods too for those who work and sell Gravity Lights.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
With this in mind, the inventors have started a project in Kenya. They not only want to export their invention, they also want to create jobs by building manufacturing plants in the countries that purchase Gravity Lights.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The financing is already underway using a crowd-funding model. This simple mechanism could become the solution for many families without access to electricity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
