This incredible device charges your phone with water!

That’s right; a sleek new device could help charge you phone without an electric outlet.

A Swedish startup called MyFC revealed their cool new technology – JAQ. The device which is small enough to simply slip into your back pocket is a fuel cell charger. JAQ uses saltwater and oxygen to convert chemical energy into electricity, then it uses that electricity to charge your phone’s battery.

The charger consists of a credit card shaped “power card” and a hollowed out port that is basically the same size as your average smartphone. The card has saltwater in it, so when you slip the card into the port it fuels electricity-producing chemical reactions. To get all that electricity to your phone’s battery, all you have to do is plug your phone into the port with a standard cable.

The amazing thing about JAQ is that it produces about 1800 mAH worth of electricity – that’s nearly enough energy to fully charge an iPhone 6S. If you want to charge a larger device, like a tablet, it will take more than one power card to get it fully juiced up.


This incredible device is not available to buy just yet, but the company hopes to be able to ship the product later this year and make sure people have the option to charge their phone while still having fun on the beach!
