Headed straight for the Outfit Your Survival Compound Pavilion at CES is the HydroPak fuel-cell power generator from Millennium Cell and Horizon Fuel Cell. The system uses water-activated cartridges to supply hydrogen-generated electricity to one standard AC outlet and two USB connectors. The HydroPak is quieter and lighter than other types of generators, doesn't spew out noxious emissions and has infinite shelf life.

Horizon expects to have units ready for sale in mid-2008, priced at $400 for the generator and $20 for each disposable cartridge, good for the equivalent of 8 to 10 laptop battery recharges.
