Hi Steemit family!

Lumir K, Cooking oil Powered LED lamp

As you have seen for some time now, I have dedicated publications with a ecological orientation taking an unexpected turn, above all to promote different initiatives that need to emerge to give the planet a breath of fresh air. Today we will discover an LED lamp that is capable of working with oil is called Lumir K. Join me to learn more about this incredible invention.

Today they are used by the automotive industry to manufacture biofuels that in my opinion are the most unviable way to make fuels, only because it takes too many hectares to plant items such as soya and corn just to obtain oil and then process and obtain ethanol that is known as corn or soya gasoline. Inviable because many people could be fed with these cereals.
For them the initiative of the manufacturer of Lumir K has manufactured a super-powerful LED technology lamp that works with cooking oil, can provide light with only 1 liter of used oil or new for a month with use at night or in environments where sunlight does not reach.

The process is simple the cooking oil is converted into thermal energy and then produce electricity, according to the company the energy it produces is equivalent to 100 candles. The most positive thing about the device is that you can use various types of oil such as canola or sunflower oil, corn, olive, grape, in theory you can use any kind of cooking oil to illuminate, with just 5 ml is enough to illuminate for at least 1 hour continuous, the lamp dispenser has a stop for 140ml.

Usually the cooking oil cannot be reused many times so before you throw it away you will want to keep what you are about to throw away, this is a special idea for areas where there is no electric service like some African countries where you can reuse the cooking oil to store in the lamp another positive point is the lamp life that can run for up to 10 years without replacing it.

In other publications referring to this type of lighting technology I have expressed the serious problem that there is in the world with more than 2000 million people who do not have electricity, who use wood repeatedly ending up with forests, also use fossil fuels that pollute the environment using fuels such as kerosene, in addition to being extremely expensive for families who do not have the resources to buy fuel.

So this lamp can mean a lot in these places, also does not pollute, another positive aspect is that it is capable of producing 50% more lighting than a kerosene lamp, this project was launched by the Indigogo platform, the lamp has already been sold in Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos.

The LED light is detachable so if it is damaged before the age of 10 you can buy a spare for a small price. This is another invention that has impressed me, although its principle is easy to understand the idea is to generate a minimal impact on the environment as well as reuse and recycle oil that after all we always end up throwing in the trash.
Currently the company works to carry free lamps through agreements with NGOs that are getting resources to provide the most disadvantaged communities on the planet, an efficient way to help the environment and helping others have light.
