Carrying a power bank, a battery pack, or a solar charger is not the only way you can get access to portable and off-grid power. We have many different and innovative methods to ensure lighting and power in various outdoor conditions.
One wonderful example is the OEL Salwater Lamp, which makes use of the advaned metal fuel cell technology to provide you with susintable lighting and portable charging for phones in an emergency.
Launched on Kickstarter, the OEL Saltwater Lamp emerges as a revolutionary solution for portable power and lighting, as it works by consuming any added electrolyte liquid that can be the seawater, saltwater, colas, common acidic, any alkaline liquids and even urine.
How Does it Work?
At the core of the OEL Saltwater Lamp is metal fuel cell technology, a cutting-edge approach to generating alternative electricity.

Unlike traditional fuel cells that rely on hydrogen or hydrocarbon fuels, metal fuel cells harness the energy potential of metals such as magnesium.
When exposed to oxygen, the metal undergoes an electrochemical reaction, releasing electrons and generating electrical current.
Why It is Used For?
The OEL Saltwater Lamp is ideal for various scenarios like outdoor lighting, party lighting, mountaineering, camping, and emergency home lighting.
Moreover, the oil drum-shaped device is also good for charging your phones and other USB devices in an emergency.
According to its maker, a single filling of saltwater can charge your iPhone 15 twice.
What’s more, since it can generate heat, it can also be used to ignite dry grass and paper.
Overall, this small product is an excellent choice for campers, outdoor enthusiasts, and other explorers to utilize an alternative power source.
Coming to its specs, the device offers a total power of 100Wh, and the output is 2 watts. A single lighting session can provide illumination for around 12 hours.
The size of a single electrode is 84x43x86 mm, and a single water tank is sized at 84x43x145 mm. You can add multiple water tanks to increase the lighting duration and scale up the overall output of this amazing product.
The product is launched on Kickstarter by its designers for crowdfunding, where you can buy it at an early bird price of around $20. The team expects to start shipping to users in August 2024.
As of this writing, with 12 more days for the campaign to end, as many as 150 people have backed it with a total collection of more than $10,000. Check out the OEL Salwater Lamp campaign page here to pre-order a unit, if you are excited about this.
