Henry Glogau’s Solar Desalination Skylight doesn’t require any electricity, as it only requires seawater to function. That’s right, not only does it emit a natural diffused light, but also produces drinking water as well as have the ability to utilize leftover salt brine for energy creation. Technically speaking, it’s essentially a combination of salt batteries and solar power. The LED light strip is charged during the day with small solar panel.

The salt brine waste from the evaporation process can also be used to create a series of salt batteries, or 12 to be exact, which provid a source of energy to power the skylight at night through a chemical reaction when placed in tubes holding a mixture of copper and zinc. For maximum efficiency, seawater is hand pumped directly into the light through a small tube and then clean drinking water is drained out from the bottom.
