Sci’Con Pack Brings Water and Power

Consider the Sci’Con back to be your personal department of power and water while you’re on a ride. We’ve seen bags that haul water in a hydration pack and those that have a solar charger. Well, the Italian-made HydraCharge offers both.

It features a solar panel for recharging mobile devices and can juice them up while you ride. It can take about four hours to get that iPhone or MP3 powered up, and while you’re doing the riding you can enjoy your own sort of juice to stay hydrated. The HydraCharge holds 1.5liters as well.

CES 2012: Turning Water into Power

There is something to be said to turning water into wine, and a whole industry exists to do just that (with a little help from grapes and time), but Swedish fuel cell pioneers myFC has introduced the world’s first portable fuel cell charger that runs on just ordinary water. With PowerTrekk just add water and you’ll never run out power again, making this an excellent way to juice over your mobile devices when an outlet isn’t available. And best of all it something you can use when the sun isn’t shining.

Unlike solar chargers – which do need the sun – fuel cells recharge quickly, and there is no power degradation as there are typically with batteries. The result is a reusable device. Just add water!
