Can you imagine charging your cell phone with water and salt? This will soon be possible thanks to <\/span>Hydra-Light, <\/b>a revolutionary technology that has popped up on Kickstarter.<\/span><\/p>\n

This technology involves a patent that gets rid of battery use. This invention has a carbon battery and a metal cylinder called the \u201cPowerRod.\u201d To use it, all you have to do is take out the PowerRod and fill the battery casing\u00a0with <\/span>salt water, or regular water with cooking salt.<\/b><\/p>\n

The PowerRod\u2019s contact with salt water <\/span>generates electricity<\/b>, which can help power a light or charge any device with USB, including your phone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hydra-Light has several formats<\/span> (lanterns, street lamps, batteries)<\/b> that can be fitted to your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

This invention is revolutionary for a few reasons: for one, it encourages the use of <\/span>sustainable energy <\/b>and also, it could be<\/span>\u00a0a life-saver<\/b>\u00a0in moments when other sources of electricity are\u00a0scarce. Imagine how useful it would be for those who go hiking in the mountains for days. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in getting a Hydra-Light (starting from $38) or you want to know more about the project, you can go to the <\/span>Kickstarter page<\/span><\/a>, where it\u2019s already received the necessary backing to become a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
