Rolling Drum-Shaped Battery Powers Office for Three Days

Yill is a roll-along battery pack that powers a one-man office for three days

Yill is a giant, rolling battery that will let you run an office wherever you might be. Think of it as a storage heater, except instead of chugging down cheap nighttime electricity to warm a box of bricks, it instead uses that same budget juice to charge a huge lithium titanium battery pack.

The big white drum was designed by Werner Aisslinger for electricity storage people Younicos. Lithium titanium charges fast, and once full the Yill can supply 300 watts of power from its one kilowatt hour reserve. That's enough, the company says, to power a workstation for two or three days. If you used it solely to charge your cellphone, you'd probably grow old before you needed to plug it in again. And if you do, it only takes four hours to top up.

If you want one, you can't just order it up. You'll need to visit the Younicos site and click the rather scary sounding "contact a consultant" button.
