Toshiba Shows a Working Fuel Cell
Posted by James Fee in "ARTICLE" @ 08:00 AM
"Toshiba used the CeBIT trade show here to demonstrate for the first time an operating prototype fuel cell for notebook PCs, but the company--citing size, weight, and regulatory concerns--said it will not commercialize the technology for about another three years. The company previously said that it intended to have its direct methanol fuel cell for notebook PCs ready for the market in 2004, but the schedule has slipped several times. DMFCs are being developed to replace batteries for portable electronic devices. They typically work by mixing methanol with air and water to produce electrical power. Only methanol is required as fuel, and the byproducts are heat and water."
So lets see, as I use my laptop I have to either dump the water out every couple hours or have a wet lap? I'm sure this will work really well on an airplane. :roll: Guess it won't even get past security.
Still, overclockers could have a nice water cooled system with the water given off. :lol:
