Mobile Fuel Cells Soon?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the plug-addiction dept.

Mark Leaman writes "Motorola has made a strategic investment in Vancouver based, micro fuel cell developer Tekion with a view to the inevitable rise of the fuel cell as a power source for mobile products. Tekion is creating a new "personal power source", known as the Formira Power Pack, that will fit inside mobile products and enable consumers to stay connected for as long as needed. "

    Don't those fuel cells (which iirc commonly work on hydrogen and oxygen) produce water? So you're going to be walking around with a wet spot in your pants...

    Is that your phone or are you happy to see me?

    Right, the day the fusion-reactor-on-a-chip is available, they'll sell cellphones with build in 50MW laser cannon.
