Two cups of water give the WaterLight enough juice to be powered for around 45 days, based on the kind of usage its users put it through, according to Pipe Ruiz, an executive creative director for Wunderman Thompson Columbia, a creative agency that collaborated with E-Dina in the creation of WaterLight. The saltwater reacts with the magnesium in the WaterLight that causes a simple chemical reaction that generates electricity. Reported first by FastCompany, the technology was developed by a Columbian renewable energy startup E-Dina. Engineers from South America have developed WaterLight - a handheld device that can provide light and electricity with just two cups of saltwater.Īlso Read: IIT Mandi Researcher Builds Road That Can Generate Electricity By Simply Walking ![]()
