Samsung has come up with a brilliant fuel cell that can be powered by water. The company claims that the battery life of this hydrogen generator fuel cell exceeds conventional ones.
Water powered batteries could be best suited for cell phones and other mobile devices. Since water is readily available everywhere this technological invention can extend your mobility further.
According to Samsung, the concept uses some mystic alloy that reacts with water to produce hydrogen. The hydrogen further reacts with oxygen in the air to generate power.
This micro-fuel cell can generate 3 watts of electricity. Your mobile phone can run for 10 hours with this battery. This is twice as long as your rechargeable batteries.
The conventional fuel cells need methanol to generate hydrogen. The new technology cuts down the requirement to water which is quite cheap and easily available.
Samsung says that you can expect handsets using these long life water powered batteries in 2010.
