'Bat Hook' Charges Phones From Power Lines, Terrorizes Birds

As PopSci explains, the Bat Hook consists of a long cable with a weighted hook, which features a razor blade. When you latch the hook onto any power line, the blade cuts through the wire, and provides a safe flow of current down to whatever gadget or car battery you're trying to charge. The catch, as explained in the video from the Department of Defense (after the jump), the Bat Hook is only available for Special Ops soldiers, who, apparently, requested something that Batman would use. Pashtun pigeons had better be on high alert. [From: PopSci]
