Another device promising independence from an electrical outlet, Nectar, was introduced by Lilliputian at this year's CES. However, Nectar is fundamentally different from solar chargers - instead of sunlight, it draws energy from small gas-filled capsules. Nectar consists of two parts - the device itself, the size of a compact camera, which houses a fuel cell and has a USB port, and a replaceable gas capsule. According to the manufacturer, one capsule should be enough for more than ten full battery charges iPhone 5.
Using the Nectar is simple. You just insert a butane “canister” into the device and the fuel cell, reportedly manufactured with the help of Intel, takes care of converting the gas into electricity. You can start charging your device immediately after inserting the canister. iPhone, iPad or any other device that can be charged via USB.
The question mark hangs over who Nectar is actually intended for. You'll pay $299 for a Nectar device package with one disposable capsule, and $9.99 for each additional capsule. The capsules are intended for single use and you probably won't fill them yourself. ProNectar will probably only be appreciated by adventurers spending time away from civilization or a sworn environmentalist with their Toyota Prius. In the future, the company plans to use this technology in laptops as well.
It was 2 years ago, 5 years ago, 7 years ago...
Still expensive, it's been in ntb for so many years... ugh...
it's cheaper to buy Biolite campsites and I'm not limited to some disposable bombs from the manufacturer.
