Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]
CONSOLIDATION POLICY
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Fuse Science, Inc. (“FSR&D”), a Delaware Corporation, FSJV, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, FS Consumer Products Group, Inc., a Florida corporation [and its 60% owned subsidiary, Ultimate Social Network, Inc. (“USN”)]. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]
USE OF ESTIMATES
  
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The Company records revenue net of discounts and allowances from the sale of Enerjel™, Powerfuse™ and Electrofuse™ , when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) product has been shipped or delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s customers may return ordered items for a refund. The Company also provides customers incentives to purchase products at a discount. For the years ended September  30, 2013 and 2012, we have recorded sales discounts, returns and allowances of $42,767 and $2,285, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]
CASH CONCENTRATIONS
 
From time to time, the Company maintains cash with financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms.  The carrying amount of accounts receivable may be reduced by an allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected.  Management individually reviews all accounts receivable balances and based on assessment of current credit worthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected.  All accounts or portions thereof determined to be uncollectible are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. No allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded as of September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]
SHIPPING AND HANDLING
 
Shipping and handling billed to customers is included in net sales and shipping and handling costs are recorded as a component of cost of sales.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]
INVENTORIES
 
Inventories consist of finished goods, which are manufactured by a contracted manufacturer on behalf of the Company, for resale. Inventories are valued at average cost and adjusted to reflect lower of cost or market. Provisions for inventory obsolescence are determined based upon the specific facts and circumstances and market conditions. As of September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, no inventory was considered to be impaired.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]
FIXED ASSETS
 
Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 3-10 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent counter-party in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability.  A three-tier hierarchy is established to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs); and establishes a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. 
 
The hierarchy is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level  1 -             quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level  2 -             other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)
Level  3 -             significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities).
 
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, the Company’s warrant derivative liability is measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and is a level 3 measurement in the three-tier fair value hierarchy. 
 
There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of each class of financial instruments disclosed herein:
 
Warrant Derivative Liability - These financial instruments are carried at fair value.
 
Notes Payable - Based upon the interest rates, current economic conditions, risk characteristics, collateral and other factors, the carrying amount of these financial instruments approximate market value (level 2 measurement).
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]
DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
 
The Company issued warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock in connection with the issuance of convertible debt, which contain certain ratchet provisions that reduce the exercise price of the warrants in certain circumstances. The Company determined that the warrants did not qualify for a scope exception under ASC 815 as they were determined not to be indexed to the Company’s stock and accordingly are accounted for as derivatives and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with the changes in the fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Fair values are measured using a Black-Scholes valuation model, which approximates a binomial lattice valuation methodology utilizing Level 3 inputs.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
 
Intellectual property is evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our intellectual property may not be recoverable.  Intellectual property is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated economic life of 15 years.  We believe that the straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained annually by the Company.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events change or if circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any assets may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]
INCOME TAXES
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are provided for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
 
Deferred tax assets, net of a valuation allowance, are recorded when management believes it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will be realized.  Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the future.  The amount of deferred tax asset considered realizable could change in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are modified.
 
The Company assesses its tax positions in accordance with "Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes" as prescribed by the Accounting Standards Codification, which provides guidance for financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return for open tax years (generally a period of three years from the later of each return's due date or the date filed) that remain subject to examination by the Company's major tax jurisdictions.  Generally, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for years before September 30, 2010.
 
The Company assesses its tax positions and determines whether it has any material unrecognized liabilities for uncertain tax positions.  The Company records these liabilities to the extent it deems them more likely than not to be incurred.  Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, would be classified as a component of income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
The Company believes that it does not have any significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or measurement in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Marketing,advertising and promotion costs [Policy Text Block]
MARKETING, ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION COSTS
 
Marketing, advertising and promotion costs are charged to operations as incurred and are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  The amounts charged for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $2,761,000 and $3,172,000, respectively.
Non controlling interest [Policy Text Block]
NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
 
Non-controlling interest in the Company’s consolidated financial statements represents the 40% interest not owned by the Company in USN. USN had no operations during the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
One customer accounted for approximately 46% and 0% of the Company's net sales for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Another customer accounted for approximately 15% and 0% of the Company's net sales for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
The Company obtains principally all of its inventory from one vender.  In the event of loss of this supplier, it is reasonably possible that the Company would incur significant disruption to its operations, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company accounts for stock options granted to employees and directors using the accounting guidance in ASC 718 “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) and for stock options granted to consultants and endorsers using the accounting guidance included in ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“ASC 505-50”). In accordance with ASC 718, we estimate the fair value of service based options and performance based options on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  In accordance with ASC 505-50, we estimate the fair value of service based options and performance based options at each reporting period until a measurement date is reached using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
 
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s options would have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s options, although they provide the best estimate currently.
Reclassification [Policy Text Block]
RECLASSIFICATION
 
Reclassifications have been made to the financial statements at September 30, 2012 to comply with the presentation for the Year ended September 30, 2013.  The reclassification had no effect on net loss.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]
LOSS PER SHARE
 
The Company’s loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted losses per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the losses of the Company. All outstanding options and warrants are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be antidilutive.
 
As described in Note 6 – Notes Payable and Note 10 – 2011 Incentive Stock Plan, the Company had warrants at September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012. The convertible notes are reflected in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the corresponding periods by application of the “if converted” method to the extent their effect is dilutive.
 
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used for the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common shares:
