99 Revolutionary Device Chargers

From Battery Charging Luggage to Water-Powered Chargers

— January 11, 2012 — Eco
Whether one is seeking an eco-friendly option or a clever and functional means of charging their gadgets on the go, an assortment of revolutionary device chargers have stormed the market and left no one short of options.

Regardless of how many tech toys one acquires to streamline communication, one problem is sure to continually arise from every new product: a dying battery in need of a charge. A simple problem has yielded many solutions, not all of which are simple.

The MyFC PowerTrekk, a water powered charger, converts hydrogen and oxygen into energy a smartphone or digital camera, while Shawn Kim's rocking chair converts the kinetic energy of rocking into a few more hours of life for a phone.

It has become clear that even if one can charge a device the regular way, some of these revolutionary device chargers might be a lot more fun.
