Cool. Like a sunpipe.
Find a resilient place and way to live, then sit back and watch a momentous period in history unfold.

It basically refracts light from outside into the room.

Wouldn't really work in the UK, since our houses are not built from sheet metal. However, if you lived in a shipping container home and used a big enough bottle, that might work.

Won't store light or work at night, unless it's a super bright full moon.

yep all about lighting up dark places during the day removing the need for lighting during the day.

It could work on any type of roof if you could fit a bottle and make sure the roof was still sealed
