hey guys Aon Elijah here Gadget Hunter
0:08
with camac and I found another neat
0:10
Gadget to show you this is a portable
0:13
power brick but it's special I'm here
0:15
with moly from nectar he's going to tell
0:17
us about it excellent yes I am
0:18
absolutely what we have here is the
0:21
nectar mobile power system and what the
0:23
Nector mobile power system does is it
0:26
powers and charges your consumer
0:28
electronics devices all of them for up
0:30
to 2 weeks and you never have to plug
0:32
into a wall outlet ever again the way it
0:35
works is you've got a power cartridge
0:38
what we call a powerp you insert that
0:41
directly into the system if I do that if
0:45
I can there we go and then I plug it
0:47
into in this case my Droid phone and it
0:51
immediately starts charging get that
0:54
going too many not enough hands you
0:56
immediately starts charging my phone but
0:58
the thing is it'll char charge it up to
1:01
10 up to 10 to 14 times so 2 weeks of
1:04
power and I'm never going to have to
1:06
plug this or my phone in ever again and
1:09
now what is this cartridge comprised of
1:12
well inside here is our core technology
1:14
that we've been working for several
1:15
years on called a silicon power cell and
1:18
the Silicon power cell is a fancy name
1:20
that we have for a solid oxide fuel cell
1:23
that we've actually imprinted directly
1:25
onto a silicon wafer and so the Silicon
1:29
wafer extracts butane which is inside
1:32
the the Power Pod it extracts that it
1:34
converts into electricity and then it
1:36
Powers my phone and it's uh approved for
1:39
use on aircraft you can take them on
1:41
airplanes you can use them on airplanes
1:43
sadly and my wife will attest to this
1:45
she's uh I've put about a million air
1:47
miles on the devices and event at pretty
1:50
much every airport in the world TSA
1:52
approved International aircraft approved
1:54
and it's just a marvelous product I
1:55
can't be I couldn't be happier about it
1:57
and then once the fuel cell is done you
1:58
recycle it exactly yeah so when you're
2:00
done the cartridge is empty the fuel pot
2:03
is empty you just toss it into your
2:04
recycling bin it goes out with your Coke
2:07
cans and your water bottles and you get
2:09
another one you pop it right
2:11
in and then Bingo two more weeks of
2:14
power so if you're traveling to Asia
2:15
you're traveling to Europe or you're
2:17
you're going hiking or kaying and you
2:19
want your GPS to work for the whole
2:20
weekend you just take this device and
2:22
maybe another cartridge and you're done
2:24
never look for a wall outlet ever again
2:26
and available at Brookstone this summer
2:29
for $299 for the device and cartridges
2:32
you get for
2:33
$9.99 so either two cups of coffee at
2:36
you know your local coffee place or two
2:38
weeks of power or in my case both mly
2:41
