Water Powered USB Charger

A revolutionary piece of tech, the Powertrekk. A portable fuel cell charger used by outdoor enthusiasts, powered by a small capsule of water this ingenious product can provide up to 10 hours of charging capacity from one small "puck"

With its new simple sleek design, unlike many other similar products on the market, it does not require a recharging from a socket, or solar power so this can be used anywhere without the need for sunshine! Oddly it's splashproof, which is strange in itself seeing as though it needs water to be placed inside the vessel to actually work (Hehe)

It's a green energy solution, which in today's market is apparently what consumers want especially big businesses as everyone's jumping onto the Global Warming band wagon.  Although this product can use electricity to power items which can be charged, its other unique design feature the "Puck" is an alternative for use when not near a power source, so users can switch between the two depending on where they are at the time.

Unlike many other sources such as the above mentioned solar power, the MyFC Powertrekk can be used instantly, just adding water to the enclosed Puck, will instantly provide power. This unique one of a kind device converts hydrogen into power instantly when the mixtures combine, as tested by Jason on The Gadget Show - You see him charging his Iphone instantly upon closing the clasps.

Unfortunately this item is not yet available within the UK, other areas have this product available to them, this is understandable as the UK does not really have the outback or outdoor space other areas like Australia or the USA have. 

Here's the website link for a list of the distributors that will have these items in stock and ready to purchase, the website does state that the device itself will cost around 199 Euros and each puck costing 4 Euros however Jason on The Gadget Show does mention that each Puck costs as little as £1.50 for 10 hours charge, which is actually considerably cheaper then buying Duracell Batteries and using one of those similar chargers.
