Ever run out of batteries on your laptop and have it go to hibernation in the middle of some important task, pull your hair and shout obscenities at your friends? Apparently those days are soon over.Read through the usual tech-news this morning and found out that Toshiba is developing a fuel cell for laptops as an alternative to Lithium-Ion based batteries.
Tokyo--Toshiba Corporation today announced the world’s first prototype of a small form factor direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) for portable PCs, a clean energy breakthrough with the potential to end reliance on rechargeable batteries. The new fuel cell currently realizes average output of 12W and maximum output of 20W, and can achieve approximately five hours of operation with a single cartridge of fuel. It provides instant power supply, and achieves significant advances in operating times with replaceable methanol cartridges.Read more about the fuel cell at Thoshiba
