New lantern/charger 4 phone/tablet runs on water 20-Feb-2016 At 12:18:26 PM Pat

Hi I was talking on a previous thread about a new lantern/charger project I am working on. The kickstarter campaign has launched for it and after two days is already about 50% funded. We are stunned with the success so far.

Brief specs

Both lanterns run on low level salt water and a single consumable power rod that retails for about US$4.50 and replaces approximately 85 AA batteries. Giving about 250 hours of light.

Lantern one PL 250 is just a lantern and runs entirely on salt water using patented technology

Lantern two PL 500 is the same sized lantern with a USB charger and a secondary accessory light on a long lead that plugs into it when wanted. It runs on salt water, but also has a lithium - ion battery for facilitating the charging.

The kickstarter link with interesting video is here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1993414184/the-hydra-light-pl-500-salt-water-energycell-lante

The website for our company is here: http://www.hydra-light.com

Happy to answer any questions that I can.

I am really excited to be bringing this project to the market. This is our first product into production, but we have a range of products that will be able to bring power and light to many tens of millions in the developing world who have no access to electricity and would like to. We are going to be using the kickstarter funds to bring these models to the market and the UN and Red Cross have been very interested in our working prototypes as the later models are based around disaster relief first response and micro enterprise development through the distribution of safe clean electricity.

Funding our kickstarter programme will allow us to go to this next step and give our first customers a light that is always ready to go wherever you are. You'll never need to worry about having a flat battery again.

We would appreciate any shares with contacts that you have that would be interested in this light.
