    HimeyaShop.com: NoPoPo (Aqua Powered Battery)
    [​IMG]
    The NoPoPo batteries are rechargeable via a variety of liquids, including water and urine, injected into the battery chamber with a pipette. A mixture of magnesium and carbon reacts with the liquid and produces power up to 500 mAh in the case of an AA-size battery. The batteries come in AA and AAA and retain their charge for up to 10 years. However, they can be recharged only a limited number of times (2 to 5 times on average).

    $15 a pair.

    Use the battery to power a pregnancy test and you've got something there.

    And where did that name come from? Wouldn't 'JustP' make more sense than 'No Poo Poo'?

    Are these called P cells? ;)

    That is too funny Evan. The name sounds like slang for the Po-Lease. Some communities call the man, the Po-Po. Maybe folks in the New England states would say this battery is a, "Wicked Pissah" (excellent)

    Who knows, maybe some creative ladies could keep a set of these around for that little toy they keep in the back of their drawer?;):cheer2:

    Or maybe some poor guy's cell phone dies on his way to his urologist, but he can't pee and he's up sheet creek without a paddle....cause you're killing me Larrrry!!! (folks in Los Angeles will know who Larry is)

    "recharged only a limited number of times (2 to 5 times on average).
    $15 a pair."

    That's a pretty expensive battery.

    The interesting thing is that I recently saw someone trying to sellthis idea on "Dragon's Den'. They were rejected.

    Perfect for electric vehicles on a long haul. A funnel, a tube and a six pack and you're good to go (far).
