Philippines’ Edison: Researcher powers lights with saltwater
The “Salt Lamp” can run for up to eight hours off of a single glass of saltwater. It was designed to help those in need — particularly in the Philippines where typhoons and earthquakes are common occurrences. (Facebook)

The Philippines is situated right along the equator and its position makes it highly susceptible to typhoons and earthquakes. As such, something as simple as a reliable electric light source can be a valuable commodity for its residents — especially one that can run on saltwater.
Lipa Aisa Mijena, an engineer and researcher from De La Salle University, discovered a way to power bright portable lanterns with just a glass of seawater and plans to share the technology with her country.
The invention has been dubbed the “Salt Lamp” and happens to be a safe and ec0-efficient alternative to other traditional electric light sources.
Mijena does want to commercialize the product, but her first priority is to help those in need through non-profit organizations.
The lamp can last for eight hours on a single fill up and can run smoothly for a year.
