Political or Electrical? 

Electric here for now.  Get your own hydroelectric genny to keep all your stuff going.  At 2 pounds it sure looks interesting.  Click the link below.  Lots more info and a video there to peek at to learn more good stuff. 

And NO, I have no interest or gain or boot from this.

Estream is a personal hydroelectric generator for charging your gadgets
By Marcus Yam — August 15, 2016

Hydropower, once used by farmers in ancient Greece to grind grain, is today employed at such iconic locales as the Hoover Dam in Nevada and the monolithic Three Gorges Dam in China to produce electricity. Enomad, a startup from South Korea, has revealed a hydropower device called the Estream, which will convert running water into electricity that can charge your phone and other USB devices.

The Estream is about the size of a water bottle and weighs less than 2 pounds. Once submerged in running water, the turbine rotates and generates electricity that gets stored in the Estream’s built-in 6,400mAh battery, which takes about 4.5 hours to fully charge. A full battery should be able to charge up to three smartphones or action cameras. Estream claims that it’s able to charge devices twice as fast as a regular outlet thanks to a quick-charge function.
If you need a second magazine, its time to call in air support.
