hey Tech fans Luke Westway here at Mobile World Congress 2015 we're taking a look at the JAC fuel cell charger from IFC it's a portable charger that actually creates its own electricity let's take a look so you're probably used to the idea of portable power packs that you can recharge and they keep your gadgets topped up but this is slightly different because it's actually creating its own power out of hydrogen so inside these cards there's water and salt and when you plug them into the jack power pack like this hydrogen is released and that is converted into electricity jack says that from one card you'll get 2,400 milliamp hours of charge so that would be enough to roughly say charge an iPhone one and a half times so these plastic cards aren't reusable so once you've got your charge out of it that's done you have to just get rid of it but the good news is you can recycle them so you can recycle them with your home plastic recycling another benefit is that my FC says that this thing is safe and approved for air travel and the actual cards themselves are going to be pretty cheap they're going to cost roughly between 1.5 and $2 each as for the charging pack itself there's no final price yet but we're told that it's not going to cost more than $99 so this thing is going to be on sale at the end of the year let me know what you think I think it's certainly interesting to see new approaches to different types of energy when it comes to keeping your gadgets charged all right that's all for now but check out cnet.com / MWC for much more
