PowerTrekk Portable Fuel Cell Charger Creates Green Energy On The Go

Portable Green Power
PowerTrekk has just announced a great new green product which could make users of on-the-go electronic devices very happy. The PowerTrekk portable Fuel Cell Charger promises “Instant Power Anywhere” by just adding water to the system, and connecting the uncharged device via a USB cable.
How It Works
Unlike similar devices that require solar power to charge electronic devices, the PowerTrekk only requires 1 tablespoon of water. The charger converts the hydrogen from the water into energy instantly and begins powering the device right away. A primary advantage of this system over solar is that it doesn’t matter if it’s a cloudy day or not – it can even charge indoors as long as you have a bit of water. The only downside is that it requires a disposable fuel cell called a PowerPukk to extract the hydrogen, which has to be disposed of as electronic waste (like a dead battery) after its use.
Where You Can Find One
Unfortunately they are not widely available yet, but the plan is to have them to retailers and distributors as soon as possible. Be sure to check back on this article and the PowerTrekk website to find out when you can get one for yourself.
