在2013年10月,介绍了一个原型并获得了专利。Suttner参加了许多设计比赛(他都赢得了胜利),以展示他的小工具。由于技术性,他没有赢得国际DesignBoom奖项(该产品必须在市场上提供)。整个想法花了三年的时间,现在他是自己的小工具的骄傲所有者。他说;‘在南非这里到非洲的家门口,人们对有多少人无法获得电力以及每年有多少人死于石蜡使用情况有很多认识。I realized that the technology was there… I couldn’t understand why this problem wasn’t being solved, so I decided I wanted to research a little bit more.’ Suttner soon realized that the problem wasn’t the availability of technology but rather mass distribution of it. He says; ‘I thought if I could solve the distribution problem, I could really solve this problem on a global scale.’
他继续专注于可口可乐的分销模式,然后才意识到也许他不需要新的分销模式,而是利用现有的分销模式,尤其是说话,他可以雇用瓶子本身在世界范围内传播这项技术。爱游戏ayx体育因为想到它;瓶子到处都是。根据萨特纳;‘I just thought if I could make it to look like this (while he waves the bottle cap)and it could clip into a Coke bottle then surely Coke would be interested in helping me distribute because it works with their Coke bottles, which is their biggest byproduct. This was my thinking behind the Lightie.’
