MATT GALLANT-- Continuing the parade of things that you can't actually get yet: As they say: "Small, cheap, and good: pick two."

But no! Or so says the University of Houston, who have claimed to developed a small, cheap, and good fuel cell using thin film solid oxides.

Small: a fuel cell with the volume of four sugar cubes can power a laptop computer; one the size of two soda cans can power a house.

Cheap: does not use the ultra-pure and exotic materials of standard fuel cells.

Good: thin film solid oxides have a 60-70% efficiency, and run at half the temperature of normal solid oxide fuel cells, at a mere 450 to 500 degrees Celsius.

Wow! I can't wait to put a tiny 500°C battery in my lap.

Toshiba Develops Prototype "World's
Smallest" Fuel Cell 06/24/2004 02:38 PM

PCWorld is reporting that Toshiba is releasing a fuel cell this year that is being billed as the "World's Smallest," an always-dubious claim, but undeniably appealing, as Toshiba's .9 by 2.2 by .4 inch cell can produce 100 milliwatts of power over 20 hours with just two cubic centimeters of methanol. Oh, actually, as I read this again the small unit a prototype -- it's a notebook-class version they intend to release later in the year, which we sort of already knew about.

Stem cell breakthrough in South Korea

Stem cell breakthrough in South Korea 06/05/2005 10:53 PM

Stem cell research is a controversial topic, at least when embryonic stem cells are involved. This week, Science.Ars looks at some developments in South Korean stem cell research.

I’m revisiting the topic again this week, following the news of a breakthrough by scientists from Seoul National University. Last year the group reported the creation (registration required) of an human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line using somatic cell nuclear transfer — in effect they replaced the nucleus in donated oocytes (unfertilized egg cells) with that of a somatic cell.

As is usual with this line of research, the development will raise all sorts of ethical questions.

Science.Ars also reports on the discovery of a new species of monkey, a positive development from the devastation of last December's tsunami, and more.

Where's My Micro Fuel Cell?

Where's My Micro Fuel Cell? 05/27/2004 09:34 AM
Fuel Cell companies have been promising commercially available micro fuel cells for years. Robot builders have been anxiously awaiting them as an alternative to short-lived, expensive batteries. So where are they? According to a new smalltimes article, they've been plagued with performance and cost problems. Two companies claim they're getting close and, (suprise) are promising commercially available micro fuel cells shortly. Medis Technologies, Ltd claims they'll ship a micro fuel cell aimed at cell phones and digital cameras by the end of this year. The downside to the Medis cell is its use of a proprietary glycerol fuel instead of hydrogen or methanol. MTI Micro claims they'll ship a more conventional methanol fuel cell this year but for the industrial RFID reader market rather than consumer devices. Lack of pricing information has some analysts concerned cost may still be an issue and that the companies are rushing a product to market just to prove they can do so before their funding runs out.

This generator provides 1,000 watts of 120 volts AC with no noise and no emissions, so that it can be used indoors. It uses Ballard's fuel cell technology for this silence and cleanliness. You need either tanks of industrial hydrogen or commercial metal hydride canisters to power it. Might be useful for mission critical power in clean rooms, medical operations, or in places where quiet is also essential.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Review

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Review 06/22/2005 01:56 AM

Hydrogen prototype A-Class is a total gas: James Healey gives a good review to a prototype hydrogen fuel-celled vehicle. I really want one. I'm not a tree-hugger or anything, but these cars speak to me.

The remarkable thing, though, is that the test car seemed so real, so much like a car you could — should? — be able to buy today, even though it was a prototype, one of 19 in the USA so the automaker can roll up real-world miles. [...]

So there are two aspects on which to comment.

Fuel cells: Promising. As a popular comedian would say, "Get 'er done."

A-Class: Magnificent small car. Can we please have it here, regardless of how it's powered?
