A power source for your mobile phone can now be as close as
the nearest faucet, stream, or even a puddle, with the world’s first
water-activated charging device.
Based on micro fuel cell technology developed at KTH Royal
Institute of Technology in Stockholm, the MyFC PowerTrekk uses ordinary water
to extend battery life for devices of up to 3 watts.
Anders Lundblad, KTH researcher and founder of MyFC, says
that the device can be powered by fresh or seawater. The water need not be
completely clean.
