Kraftwerk: A small powerplant, fuelled by Butane, to charge your phone, tablette and camera

A new completely different and innovative type of battery charger is about to come into the market, fuelled by Butane. It is called Kraftwerk, it is based on Fuel Cell technology and is being developped in Germany by eZelleron. It looks and acts like a battery pack and it is the first hand-held fuel cell generator that can regenerate energy in less than 3 seconds to power all your mobile devices for weeks.

Kraftwerk, which translates to “power station” in German, is the product of eZelleron, an engineering team that spun out of German research firm Fraunhofer Gesellschaft. So far the company has raised almost half its $500,000 goal for kraftwerk in just three days onKickstarter. Three people have even pledged $10,000 to get distributor rights for the product when it becomes available.

Fuel cell technology has been bandied about since the 1950’s but gas and other fossil fuels have eclipsed it as a preferred energy source. The reasons for low adoption of the tech are varied. It works by converting chemical energy into electricity instead of needing to plug it into the power grid. This means kraftwerk units can be taken all over the world, including vast regions of Earth that aren’t connected to electricity, and your cellphone can get instant, clean power for a long period of time.

Kraftwerk opens up a whole new dimension in freedom and independence when it comes to supplying your mobile electronic devices with energy. Why? Because kraftwerk enables you to generate your own energy using a small, handy device – in such large amounts that you can run your iPhone, tablet, or even your GoPro camera for weeks!

Kraftwerk can be your very own portable power plant:

• Amazingly small and highly efficient
• Completely independent of any power grid or wall outlet
• Supplies power reliably – anywhere and at any time
• New and pioneering fuel cell technology
• An invaluable advantage both in everyday life and even when traveling to the ends of the earth
