Tech Article 2/12: Kraftwerk Portable Charger


The Kraftwerk Portable Charger is nothing like normal portable chargers. Instead of running on batteries it runs on lighter fluid to charge cell phones. Kraftwerk has a fuel cell setup which just means it runs on either standard camping fuel or lighter gas. That might sound unsafe but in fact it is FDA approved. You can even go to the extent of taking it in your carry-on during a plane ride. Beside it being safe it weighs 160g. It holds up to 40g of gas which can charge an iPhone up to 11 times. On the downside you'll only find one USB port and it's still unknown how fast the Kraftwerk can charge a phone.
