Off topic, but only a little since it's about hardware

[Steve G.]

Wow, some of these devices are powerful enough to recharge a car battery
(and weigh accordingly).

Clearly they target multiple markets - one for the light traveler, who want
something to keep using his/her phone or Kindle during the day without
disruptions, and one for heavy users who need to run a laptop or two for a
whole day. Different loads for different folks.

I am going to check and see if Office Depot or Bug (these are the only
stores I know in Israel) carry one of these things (on the lighter use side
- all I want right now is not to run looking for outlets during the day to
recharge my Samsung Galaxy Mini). Amazon is a good source, as is eBay, but
I am not sure about logistics. If all fails, I'd inquire there too.

Cheers,

Z.
