Modern generators are hugely inefficient, while remaining critical in wartime and disaster zones. This portable machine takes only a minute's set up before pumping out power, clean water, and communications. Courtesy Ecosphere Technologies
Both war and disaster zones rely heavily on diesel generators—one of the least efficient and most expensive forms of energy available. The Ecos PowerCube from Ecosphere Technologies can be transported anywhere in the world to deploy solar power, clean water, and telecommunications in less than a minute.
