We have been working on the the prototype for a few days now. We have to make four moulds out of MDF, two for the outside shells and two more simple ones that are part of a new way of assembling the inner components. In parallel, we worked on the circuit boards for the prototype. The facilities are better at the TU in Delft, but until now it has gone quicker than anticipated. People here are used to improvising and know tricks.
Layer cake with non-subtle 12mm MDF, cut out by human power. Almost ready! In only one afternoon.
The MDF shapes the Dremel tools instead the other way around. Details have to be shaped by hand. Fits more to the speed of the environment (see pictures of the campus) anyway.
Doortje and Jan in the electronics workshop. Jan for the Angkor light, Doortje for our prototype.
Tom, lost in calculations for his graduation project about solar home systems.
In case we feel lonely, we will always have company outside.

Hi Anonymous, the lamps are tested at the moment to make sure that they will last long enough to really help people. They will be sold soon, first in the Kandal province. We will let you know via this blog!
