04/11/2005 10:22 AMIBM and Japan's Sanyo Electric said Monday they would jointly develop
a methanol fuel-cell system for the U.S. technology giant's ThinkPad
notebook personal computers. The two companies said in a statement
they would develop a micro direct methanol fuel cell system that could
supply up to eight hours of power per cartridge for current and future
ThinkPad models.
The system could enable PCs to run continuously through constant power
generation while a conventional battery Latest News about Batteries
could be used as an auxiliary power unit. A Sanyo spokesman said this
hybrid battery system would be best suited for use in offices, because
it would be able to run intensive business applications such as
multimedia, graphics and other programs without draining the battery.

Where's My Micro Fuel Cell?
Where's My Micro Fuel Cell?
05/27/2004 09:34 AMFuel 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.

Fuel-cell/space-race
Fuel-cell/space-race
03/14/2003 01:08 PMThis month's Wired has an amazing story on the potential future of
fuel-cells, comparing the drive to wean America off of the gas-teat to
the Cold-War-driven space race of the Kennedy era.
Like the car companies, oil producers have already taken steps toward
an oil-free future. Over the past 15 years, corporations like Shell
and Exxon have ceded their leadership in oil production to a dozen
state-owned enterprises in countries such as Venezuela, Brazil, and
Norway. Instead they've focused on adding value farther down the
supply chain by refining crude into gasoline and distributing and
selling it through filling stations. They know they could play the
same role in a hydrogen economy, which is why Shell and BP have
invested hundreds of millions of dollars in hydrogen storage and
production technology. Indeed, BP, formerly British Petroleum, has
rebranded itself Beyond Petroleum.
The major oil companies are already extracting hydrogen from gasoline
for industrial uses at nine refinery complexes throughout the United
States. With a little push, these plants could serve as hubs for a
nascent hydrogen-distribution network.
Converting filling stations is bound to cost billions of dollars over
several decades. But it should cost relatively little to retrofit
clusters of stations in proximity to both a hydrogen-producing
refinery and a population center where fuel cell vehicles are sold.
Oil companies could meet initial demand by trucking hydrogen from
refineries to these stations. As the number of fuel cell vehicles on
the road rises, stations that aren't served by refinery hubs could
install processors, called reformers, that use electricity to extract
hydrogen from gasoline or water. The White House should ask for $5
billion - roughly $30,000 for each of the nation's 176,000 filling
stations - to get the ball rolling.

Alcohol Fuel Cell Goes Micro
Alcohol Fuel Cell Goes Micro
12/19/2004 03:41 PMThere’s a lot of energy in ethanol, which is non-toxic and can
be made cheaply from corn. Researchers from Saint Louis University,
who earlier this year developed a fuel cell using enzymes to generate
electricity from ethanol, have built a microchip-based version of the
device. The trick to constructing the biofuel cell was creating a
sheltered environment for the enzymes, which are fairly sensitive. The
researchers coated the carbon anode, or positive electrode, of

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Review
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Review

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?

07/23/2004 02:53 PMMATT 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.
