Mother Nature’s abundant natural resources are enough to fulfill most of our energy needs. All we need to do is discover the huge potential and work them out on a larger scale. Eyeing a sustainable source of electricity, Marieke Staps, has thus popped up with the ‘Soil Lamp’ that is a natural but innovative source of light. Running on mud surrounded by the cells containing copper and zinc, the Soil Lamp just requires an occasional ‘splash of water’ to keep it glowing.
Usability:
The Soil Lamp without doubt is an eco-friendly source of energy that will light our dwellings while sustaining the environment. What remains to be seen is the practical or commercial potential of the product, which at present appears far from reality.
Designer:

Works pretty good. It lit up the lawn as if it’s daylight.
