First Fuel Cell Finalised
At TrustedReviews they have the scoop on what is the first Fuel Cell Battery to be commercially finalised. Antig, a company that most of us have never heard of, has beaten bigger companies like Toshiba to the punch, and expects their product to be commercially available later this year.
Described as ‘CD-ROM size’, the methanol powered battery is designed to slide into a compatible notebook’s media bay slot. Frustratingly, the company did not go into details regarding what operation time it expected to see from the design. Primarily this looks to be because the companies hope to sell the format worldwide, leaving third parties to vary the quantity of methanol injected therefore creating a price range.
Antig was more forthcoming about its second project, however, a 45W producing methanol fuelled portable power system. Like a power lead, it would plug into the port on the back of a laptop and promises to keep it operational for up to eight hours. At 1.7Kg it is a little hefty for a device purely designed to make your life more mobile, but we await more developments with interest.
