Water Powered Cell Phone Charger Set To Be Released This Summer

The idea of taking your phone with you and just adding water if you run out of juice had been a pipe dream until now. At the end of this summer REI will carry the PowerTrekk. It has a small metallic powder and by adding water you can charge a phone or anything else with USB. And since this is so cutting edge it comes with a cutting edge price – $230. Still neat this sets the stage for them reducing the price and within a few years we’ll all have one.

There’s also a neat story to how it was developed by someone trying to make an air freshener.
