Lets say the weight weighs 50lbs (22.6kgs) and the lamp is 5 ft (1.52m) tall.  The maximum possible energy removable from the system is 338 joules.  If the weight takes 4 hours to fall like the video says, we're looking at 14400 seconds, giving us approximately .02 watts of power.  I don't know what kind of light we can get with such little power.  By my estimates for this to work (that is, to get at least 5 W which probably still wouldn't be enough to light even a small space), the weight must fall in about one minute, or weigh about 10,000lbs.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MEgo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 9th 2008 7:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Greener Gadgets Design Competition winners on display]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/greener-gadgets-design-competition-winners-on-display/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/greener-gadgets-design-competition-winners-on-display/</guid><description><![CDATA[So they gave 1st prize to someone who made a DIY version of an already available commercial product?<br><br><a href="http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/SearchDetail.asp?productID=5382" rel="nofollow">http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/SearchDetail.asp?productID=5382</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ras Thavas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 9th 2008 1:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Greener Gadgets Design Competition winners on display]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/greener-gadgets-design-competition-winners-on-display/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/greener-gadgets-design-competition-winners-on-display/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hehehehe, I like how the picture at that link makes the socket look like a horrified face.
