Notebook-Ready Fuel Cell

`Antig Technology and AVC Corp. will demonstrate a production-ready fuel-cell insert for notebook PCs at the CeBIT trade show next week. [..]

The methanol-powered Antig fuel cell provides 45 watts of power on a single “tank” of methanol, and weighs 3.7 pounds (1.7 kg). In total, the additional power should be enough to operate the notebook for eight hours, AVC said, which was responsible for engineering the fuel cell into the notebook housing.’

    Will anyone touch them? 🙂 I reckon this sorta new technology is bound to have unexpected problems that show up once in mass use that might not have shown up in testing..

    I’m pretty much making it up out of thin air, but it’s a pretty radical change to battery technolohy.

    There’s some health issues with the methanol also.
