Blood Lamp By Mike Thompson

Dutch designer Mike Thompson holds environmental and social element to check the value of energy. Mike makesis to show how sometimes reckless and useless uses man energy. According to Thompson, the average American per year consumes about 3383 kilowatt-hour. This is energy, which be spent if the four rooms to keep lights on whole year.
To show people what a waste of energy should be approached wisely, Mike Thompson created the lamp, which operates from human blood.


Flick the switch and make the light - what could be simpler? As a rule, people, according to Mike, do not realize what damage this causes a waste of energy of nature, the environment. And to give it more attention, Mike created The lamp Blood.

To start the lamp to glow, you need to break the neck, throw inside a pill bottle and drip a little of his blood. And then, through a chemical reaction, will be light. Lamp Blood - disposable. And it is very important. This circumstance compels the owner to wait for the lamp itself, the most important moment, when not to use the lamp is simply impossible.

Such a measure is forcing people to think about how wasteful and foolish he spends electricity. Moreover, according to Mike himself, is a metaphor: the blood - part of our body, which causes the body to live, and we sacrifice this part, to extract the light. This allusion to the nature of that destroys people.
