How about, ahem, bodily fluids?
Joking aside, it would be pretty awesome if something powered entirely on water existed, almost seems like a perpetual motion engine... Alas you do need more than water as indicated in the article and comments in
With the widespread of high-spec smartphones, the battery market is only going to grow. Maybe a chance for Japan, although they seem to have been overtaken in lithium-Ion batteries by South Korea recently...

Looked up the specs on that PowerTrekk thing. Along with the mentioned water it uses a puck of hydrogen for the fuel cell. The puck is good for less than 1500 mAh of power @ 3.7V (what most phone batteries are)... Meaning one puck won't charge your phone to 100% even once. What a scam.

Which means they have the tech for fuel efficient cars but the oil industry has stopped it entering the market. Thank you Mr Bush!
