SALt lamp

SALt lamp or "sustainable alternative lighting" lamp is a LED lamp powered by the galvanic reaction of an anode with saline water invented by Aisa Mijeno. It can provide eight hours of light, as well as power to a USB port for charging a phone.[1] The product concept was formed after living with the Butbut tribe for days relying only on kerosene lamps and moonlight to do evening chores.[2] The saltwater serves not as the power source but as the electrolyte that facilitates the current flow within the metal-air battery.[3]
