With CES in Las Vegas starting today, January 7, the internet should be getting hit by a whole bunch of gadget and technology news. Some companies try to get a jump on competitors by getting out news on their products earlier so that they do not get lost in the onslaught of shiny product from other firms. Liliputian Systems did exactly that at a pre-CES press event on Sunday, January 6 when it showcased the Nectar Mobile Power System. The device is a fuel cell that can be easily stored in a pocket or purse to help recharge mobile devices.
The product is not a rechargeable battery pack and instead Liliputian Systems has designed Nectar to be disposable. Retailing for $300, the core system has fuel cell pods that can be thrown away after use and cost $10. The setup can easily recharge any smartphone, tablet, e-reader or other devices as long as tey have a USB charging option.
The Nectar uses a Silicon Power Cell technology that has been patented by Liliputian. What this means is that the company has been able to give the power of a fuel cell using a silicon chip. The makers of Nectar have stated that each pod creates two weeks of battery life and can be disposed off in a recycling center after use.
To most of us that are in constant touch with electricity this may seem like a waste of money and energy but the system has not been designed to be used all the time. It is a mobile charging center for device for people that need to keep their gadgets running while they are out in areas that do not have a power source. This includes user like campers, hikers, traveling businessmen or families.
Liliputian’s Nectar also has another advantage over standard systems: it is lightweight and very portable. It can be carried anywhere without much effort in a pocket or a back pack. The system and pods are also approved by authorities for carry-on use on flights.
