There are a number of OTG adapters that provide a means of using an external power adapter to power the accessory device. They are all similar to these two Amazon offerings:

http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Pl...ywords=otg+hub

http://www.amazon.com/Ugreen-Samsung...76353&sr=8-102

These second one is the one I use with a Windows tablet. It accepts power from any appropriate Micro-USB adapters, like the one that came with my tablet. These don't provide power for the tablet itself, just the accessory devices. The Ugreen hub functions as a 2 port hub and can connect to a regular USB host or, via the Micro-USB plug, a host requiring USB/OTG.
