Fuel-Cell Power With Methanol
foaty writes: "It has been reported that Japanese electronics companies have developed prototypes for fuel-cell batteries that can power the smallest of electronic devices for long periods of time, and they only need refueling, not recharging! See the article at FutureEnergies.com." That article links to this piece at ZDNet; what's interesting is that instead of hydrogen, this article talks instead mostly about methanol-based fuel cells.
President Bush has been involved in similar research claiming that he has long needed a good fix of ethanol to get going in the morning.
Why would refueling be preferable to recharging?
I kind of like having only to plug into a wall to recharge my laptop, as opposed to having to stop off at a gas station, or buy a big supply of this stuff to keep in my garage.
Bad Booze contains Ethanol & Methanol.
Ethanol also contains Hydrogen.
=> Booze Cell !

It takes 40+ muscles to frown, but only four to extend your arm and bitchslap the motherfucker
Thanks, thought I remembered that and knew someone else would point it out. What I wonder is why it was moderated off-topic when the comment points to an obviously on topic article and ensuing discussion.
Use ethanol and then the user could kill two birds with one stone.
Hey, leave comments about my mother out of this!
Well, you know those crazy Japanese. We can expect to see sex robots with silver dildos on each of their 18 tentacle arms raping hog-tied schoolgirls for HOURS and HOURS on their methanol batteries.
Raping school girls? It's not really something to laugh at. I'm not sure why anyone would think of a child as a sex object, but keep it to yourself. The rest of us should throw some stones at you so other demented loosers are not encouraged. Those who actually do such evil things should be put to death.
Here are a few rocks for you:
off topic. Why not just talk about how nice your new RC Airplane would fly on one of these? Hell, if you enjoy a vibrator tell us about it, but rape?
overrated. dude, it's not funny.
troll. you knew better.
flamebait. Rest of World outraged. Americans, embarrased and outraged.
DMCA, Hollings, Palladium. What might have sounded like paranoia is now common sense.
