The idea behind the Epiphany onE Puck is simple: use a Stirling engine powered by heat disparities (a hot or cold drink, a candle, ice, etc.) to fully charge your cell phone. Invented in the early 1800s, Stirling engines are far from new. However, with new materials and modern electronics they are now being put to use in creative ways, previously unexplored.

onE Puck是顿悟实验室(Epiphany Labs)和一群技术专家和商业专业人士的创意，他们自称热爱发明新技术，并对现有技术进行修补，以开发产品，为全世界带来积极的变化。

Currently seeking funding for the onE Puck throughKickstarter, it's no surprise that with an idea this good and the experience to back it up, Epiphany Labs has exceeded their $100K funding goal. With 42 days left in the campaign, you still have time to jump on board and be one of the first to call this sweet little device your own.

How it works:

The oNE Puck could not be easier to use. Compatible with all iPhones, iPods, Android phones, and any device that uses a USB charger drawing 1000 mA or less, it's as simple as connecting the onE Puck to your device and setting your drink down.

From their Kickstarter page:

“Say you are out for a night at the bar and your phone battery dies. Rather than awkwardly moving to a corner to plug in your charger, or leaving altogether, you can pull out the Epiphany onE Puck, power it up with that cold beer you’re holding, and charge away!

你的工作日程是不可预测的，你总是忙个不停。你一天中唯一不变的部分就是每天的热咖啡或热茶，让你继续前进。从一个城市到另一个城市，从一个国家到另一个国家，你没有时间去找插座或适配器给手机充电，因为手机迟早会掉电。顿悟一号帕克就是你问题的答案。你现在可以最大限度地同时处理多个任务了!用这杯咖啡同时给你和你的智能手机充电。

The possibilities for the Epiphany onE Puck are endless. You only live once, and there is simply too much to see and do. Who wants to be bothered with worrying about finding that hidden outlet, plugging in your cord, and recharging? Don’t let your phone battery decide where life will take you next. Leave the power to the Epiphany onE Puck."

Although we are super excited about the ability to charge our cell phone batteries while we enjoy our morning beverage, the implications of this device go far beyond handheld electronics. Epiphany Labs plans to expand the knowledge and experience gained from perfecting the Epiphany onE Puck to build even larger Stirling engines that can power even larger appliances. They hope one day to crack the code to powering entire households.

Excited? Cruise over to theirKickstarterpage and you could be one of the first to own one of these sweet little devices and your cell may never be out of power again!
