Power your iPod with vodka

(Credit: Horizon)

Bought one too many duty-free vodkas from the airport and wonder just what to do with the stash? Well, eco-friendly company Horizon has the answer. Not quite in the league of the trash-to-fuel De Lorean in Back to the Future, the Horizon fuel cell Bio-Energy Kit is, after all, only $99.

But it will chug down any alcohol for fuel, albeit diluted first with water, and then distill this cocktail into pure electricity. The makers claim it's good enough to power small devices such as an iPod or a fan nonstop for days. Shipments begin September 5.

Drinkers may consider this a waste of good tipple, but hey, it could just save your liver, not to mention the environment. Bottoms up to that.

Actually, this could lead to higher alcohol consumption, especially if you follow the "One for you (the fan), one for me" principle.

Well, in my case, anyway. :-P

Do I have a feeling that this is something from the show, Futurama?

You do know that Bender runs on any alcoholic beverage....

I think this is the first sign that all robots will be run by alcoholic beverage in the future....
