Ethanol to Hydrogen Reactor Developed

Posted by michael on from the second-law-of-thermodynamics-still-problematic dept.

guacamolefoo writes "CNN reports that researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed a small (2 ft. high) hydrogen reactor that turns ethanol into hydrogen and then uses a fuel cell to turn the hydrogen into electricity. It notably does not use fossil fuels in the process. I knew that liquor would save us all some day."

    Just a few more technological advances, and your notebook will page your crack dealer when your blood levels start to dip.

    Im just going to hold out for those Cold Fusion generators. They should probably be coming out any day now, right?

    Cold Fusion has been out for a while. It just isn't very efficient. Or for that matter, very user friendly. Or programmer friendly.

    Ok, it sucks! Got it? Cold Fusion sucks!

    I'm sorry, what were we talking about?
