CES 2010: Its the future of power, just still small
You’ll soon be able to power your gadgets by water thanks to a new gadget announced at CES in Las Vegas.
The company behind the first hydrogen (toy) car is to release a fuel cell power station called the HYDROFILL that turns water into power for you to charge your phone, laptop, digital camera or other electronic devices on the go and away from a power socket.
Priced around $600 and available from April, the new “power station” takes the technology first seen in the H2 and magnifies it to a more useable solution fills fuel cell batteries called HYDROSTICKs with enough energy to power six full charges of a mobile phone.
The MiniPak as it will be called, will cost around $150 and could be the excuse you need to justify the outlay for the other two products.
Although considerably more expensive than a standard “remote charger” the company is hoping a more fun option will appeal to energy enthusiasts.
The Horizon H-Cell 2.0 R/C engine is compatible with the Tamiya TFR416 chassis and uses the company’s HYDROSTIK solid hydrogen cartridges meaning a constant supply of power on tap from the tap.
The engine, which is capable of catapulting your car at speeds of up to 60km/h, will offer two slots of the HYDROSTIK and give you around 30 minutes of drive time with a 60 minute per HYDROSTIK charge in between.
