The interesting invention of the "Binga lamp" is the floating wick. It avoids the negatzve effect of the low capillary effect of the oil, because the flame burns only some mm above the surface of the oil. And if the oil is used, the wick follows its level.

The "Binga lamp" was developed by "The Binga Trees Project" at the Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe
