Good morning 4AM crowd! I wanted to share another positive story about one man in Brazil and divine inspiration. Afredo Moser is just a humble mechanic from Brazil. But he’s not only a Huck’s Hero, he’s also a modern day Thomas Edison. A couple of years ago, he was thinking about how to light his house during one of Brazil’s frequent power outages, and a light bulb appeared over his head. Literally. He took a clear plastic bottle with a black cap, and filled it with water and a little bleach to prevent algae. Then he drilled a hole in his roof, stuck the top of the bottle through it, and water-sealed it with polyester resin. Sun shines on the top of the bottle, and the water refracts it, filling the house with as much light as a 60-watt bulb, only using no electricity. His invention, the “Moser lamp,” has caught on in at least 15 nations. It’s saved poor people millions of dollars in electric costs, while reducing pollution. Moser told the BBC that he gets goosebumps thinking about how many people he’s helped, but he credits divine inspiration. He says God gave the sun and light to everyone. So hasn’t made a dime off it. Of course, Mr. Moser could still be rewarded if he won a Nobel Prize. But that would require the Nobel Committee to give the prize to someone who actually did something to deserve it.
