Charger
Medis Technology
Power Pack: This nine-ounce disposable charger is a 1/3W device with a streamlined fuel cell that converts chemical energy into electricity. Although fuel cells pack more power than batteries, most run on methanol — a highly volatile liquid. This charger uses a mixture of glycerol and sodium borohydride as fuel. It is non-explosive and doesn't require a complicated membrane to force a reaction. Once activated, it draws in air at the cathode to create hydroxide ions. These ions travel through an electrolyte to the anode. There they react with sodium borohydride to create a current. When the electrons hit the cathode, they mix with oxygen to create more hydroxide ions.
