【阅读理解】
Getting electricity has always been a
problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo
Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South
America. However, things went from bad to worse in
March 2015 after heavy rains damaged
the only power cables in the area. The villagers
were
forced to use oil lamps, which are
not only expensive but also dangerous because of
the
harmful gases they produce.
Luckily, researchers at the
University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard
about
their problem and found a
wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be
powered by
plants and soil, both of
which can be easily found in the Amazonian
rainforest where the
village lies. The
lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden
box and uses it to light
up an LED light bulb.
While that may sound amazing and even
impossible, the science behind the ides is
quite simple. As plants create their
food (using the sun
’
s
energy, water and chemicals from
the
soil), they also produce waste which they return
to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this
waste and they produce electrons
–
the building blocks of
electrical energy. The UT team put
special sticks inside the soil to
capture the energy and keep it in the
lamp
’
s batteries for later
use. The researchers say a single
charge can power a 50-watt Led light for two hours
-
enough time for local villagers to
get their evening work done.
The university gave ten Plant Lamps to
the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October
2015. So far, they have been a huge
success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who
invented
the lamp, believes the Plant
Lamp could help improve the lives of many people,
especially
small rainforest commu
nities, 42% of whom have no electricity.
