A water-fueled power generator that instantly rescues you in an emergency

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remembers to turn on the light,” said Albus Dumbledore. Now they had a spell called Lumos if they couldn’t turn on the light, but what would we do outside Hogwarts? Simple, we would add saltwater to HydraCell – technology is not magic, but it sure feels like it sometimes!

HydraCell was designed to give you instant power if you were outdoors or had an emergency. The water-activated fuel cell can charge your devices and provide light for days – a must-have for campers. It is also eco-friendly, all the waste generated from creating the HydraCell is 100% biodegradable and doesn’t add to toxic landfill waste like most flashlights. When you need power during a storm or outdoors we use batteries but are they really reliable? More often than not, batteries are dead, or faulty they haven’t been used, and while you can recharge some during a power cut that is not an option. HydraCell fills this negative gap that batteries have with positive innovation. It can provide up to 100 hours of light and charge up to 10 phones with a single charge plate.

Apart from providing 10x better performance than regular batteries, it also has a 25x longer shelf life. HydraCell is not only for outdoor enthusiasts but a great tool for first responders as well. With the way 2020 is going, this saltwater-fuelled power cube should make it into all of your emergency kits!

SAVE:US is a Lifesaver

SAVE:US is a unique light meant to be placed in building hallways so that people can get handy access to an emergency light during an evacuation. On a daily basis the ceiling light functions normally, but during an emergency, you simply pull down a down-light torch, which is placed in a central cavity, and use it as ready illumination. Each torch is fitted with a GPS system that can be easily tracked by the rescue team. The emergency light is charged by standby power during non-emergency times, and is always ready to use.

SAVE:US is a 2011 reddot design concept winner.
