The Powerbomb: A Power Bank That You Want To Bring To The Airsoft Field

Something light this time for the middle of the week as we wait for OptimusPrime and MasterChief finish their After Action Report of Border War 8: The Warchief that took place in the Czech Republic/Czechia. Today, my short feature story is about the Powerbomb, a Power Bank that is shaped like a grenade.

Whilst the Powerbomb is something that you would not dare to bring to the airport or areas where security is tight, it is what you may want to bring to the airsoft field since it will not look out of place amongst the gear and airsoft guns that you bring with you. Since it is a power bank, it is also a useful tool for you.

The Powerbomb does pack power, 13000mah worth of power that you can charge your mobile devices such as your smartphone or tablet several times over. It is indeed useful as there are airsoft sites and large AOs where power outlets are absent. If you are in an airsoft event that will last a weekend, then the Powerbomb will be very handy when you run out of battery juice.

Just like other well-designed power banks, the Powerbomb has indicator lights to show you the level of battery charge it has left. As for charging it once battery is low, it can be charged via USB. The on and off button is located on the safety lever while the USB port is located where the striker is supposed to be if it is a real grenade.

Now, there is a problem though if you want to own one --- it is not yet in existence. The PowerBomb is a design concept done by Rahul Shirbhate, who is an industrial product design engineer based in India. If this is can be done as a real world power bank, it would be fantastic if this concept of charging devices goes further than charging mobile devices, but also be able to charge airsoft batteries. I am not exactly an electronics guy so I don’t know if it is feasible. But if it is, then by all means, make it for airsoft use.
