Just wanted to point out, the Gravia lamp has been reviewed in several places, notably here: http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/03/03/prizew... The physics behind this idea are unworkable and the lamp would never be able to provide a usable amount of light. The inventor of the Gravia lamp has also issued a retraction, stating that estimations and decisions made during the design process were incorrect (http://pesn.com/2008/02/19/9500471_Gravity_Lamp...). So, while the other ideas presented here are neat, the Gravia lamp should be allowed to fade back to the land of ideas.
