Wouldn’t it be cool if you could recharge your Android phone with water? Powertrekk by myFC
is a new fuel cell charger that does just that. This innovate charging
system uses Powerpukks that contain sodium silicide which produce
hydrogen gas when combined with any kind of water.
“PowerTrekk Water Charger gives your
mobile phone power anywhere at any time,” says Björn Westerholm, CEO at
myFC. “From now on, you do not have to rely on having an electricity
grid nearby.”
The Powertrekk charging system
was first introduced last year at Mobile World Congress, but it should
be available soon at retailers across the US, as myFC will showcase the
product at CES next week.
Overseas, the Powertrekk
charging system has a suggested retail price of €199 and the Powerpukks
go for €1.99 apiece. That means you can recharge your smartphone for
less than the cost of a 4-pack of AA batteries.
The
Powertrekk system might not be for everyone with its bulky size, but
it should appeal to outdoor enthusiasts and people who spend time away
from the electricity grid. Check out the teaser video below and then
come back next week for some hands on time.
