News Angstrom phone runs on water

Fuel-cell start-up Angstrom Power has demoed a modified Motorola handset running on a hydrogen-based fuel cell that is charged using standard tap water.

 

that's really great to see the miniaturisation of the fuel cell, in something other than cars too. How thick is it though?

 

this is great, now they need to really crack down and improve this for Laptops, maybe due a combo of Solar Plastic and this fuel cell for the laptop then it will be truly portable. ^_^

 

Great idea, but I would like to see someone trying to explain what it is to the security guys at an airport

 

I'm looking forward to hearing stories about people who don't read the instructions and try pouring water directly into their phones.

 

the real question is do you need to plug in the "fueling station" so it can do its bit

 

My thoughts exactly. How does the base station work? Has anyone managed to dig up some info / specs?

 

almost certainly electrolysis.... and i think this is cool but inefficient considering those batteries that they were making that had 10X the capacity of current batteries....

 

that great but will it play 720p HD and have an integrated nvidia chip and a 16gb+ storage capacity
because i really need these things in my life

 

I honestly couldn't agree more.
