This new lamp has the potential to outlast your next generation even after they use it in their entire lifetime. The brain child of a Virginia Tech student has won the Greener Gadget Award. The new Gravity lamp dubbed the Gravia, the lamp stands about four feet tall is encased in glass, the entire thing is lit with a soft, diffuse glow that comes from the 10 built-in LEDs. Because it’s self sufficient, there are no cables or cords to worry about, so you can place it anywhere.
It’ll last for 200 years if used 8 hours a day, 365 days a year. You’ll never buy another lamp again, ever! We all have to wait and watch if the brain of its inventor has the business acumen to take on the lighting goliaths.

One response to “Gravia- A lamp powered by gravity can last for 200 years.”
well that was a slightly pointless post, how does it work, why does it work, where does gravity come into the equasion?
