Latro is hanging lamp that makes us of this discovering, drawing its energy from a glass chamber of algae. the alga only needs sunlight, carbon dioxide (co2) and water to survive, so placing the lamp outside and breathing into the lamp begins the energy production process. Placing the lamp outside in the daylight, the algae use sunlight to synthesize foods from CO2 and water. Energy is subsequently stored in a battery ready to be called upon during hours of darkness.
