Charge Your Phone With Your Beer

Has your phone ever gone dead while you're sitting in your favorite pub? Did you ever run out of power while enjoying coffee at the airport during a layover? The Epiphany onE Puck promises to be the answer to these problems. Set your cold beer, or hot coffee, on the pad to charge your iPhone, iPod, or Android phone.

Using technology called a stirling engine, onE Puck uses heat disparities to produce enough power to charge a cell phone battery. The product is currently in development and Epiphany is soliciting funding via a Kickstarter project.

Note: I am not connected with the project, I'm simply reporting.
