I'm still waiting for someone to invent an anywhere charger. I've had the idea for years; just yank the ions (electrons looking for a new home) from whatever's around it (air, water, your shirt pocket) and do a constant trickle charge.* Even your hand while you're holding it.* It would probably tickle... but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work... and it would give a nice home to all of those poor ions just scurrying around their homes, bored... looking for some purpose in their little electron lives.
