Mug coaster that converts cold/heat to charge your device
A coaster that uses the heat/cold of the drink to charge your mobile phones. The Epiphany One Puck, which doubles as a drinks coaster, connects to a phone with a USB cable. It has two sides, one red, one blue. Owners use the red side as a drinks coaster to place a hot drink on it, and the blue side as  for a cooling drink such as a beer. It uses something called a Stirling engine to turn heat into energy.https://www.awesomeinventions.com/innovative-ideas/

Just add water - High-performance, water-based supercapacitors
If you want a safe, clean and cheap product, simply don't use hazardous, toxic or rare materials when you build it. At Allegro Energy ( https://allegro.energy ), we followed exactly this strategy when we were looking for a sustainable energy storage option that is also compatible with a circular economy. So not only have we developed a water-based super- or ultracapacitor with the highest reported voltage to date, but also one that costs a fraction of the price compared to current technology.
