πŸ’‘ The portable device called WaterLight, developed by E-Dina and Wunderman Thompson Colombia, converts salt water into electrical power.

πŸ’§ WaterLight can turn half a liter of salt water into 45 days of light and can also charge small devices through a USB port. But how does it work?

⚑ WaterLight operates through ionization, where salt water electrolytes react with magnesium to produce electrical energy.

♻️ WaterLight is made from recyclable materials, has a waterproof design, and an expected lifetime of around 5,600 hours.

🌎 The company plans to roll out WaterLight worldwide, targeting regions such as Sierra Leone and Syria that face similar electricity challenges.
