Printable Batteries Should Arrive Next Year

FullBandwidth writes "Paper-thin batteries that can be printed onto greeting cards or other flexible substrates have been demonstrated at Fraunhofer Research Institution for Electronic Nano Systems in Germany. The batteries have a relatively short life span, as the anode and cathode materials dissipate over time. However, they contain no hazardous materials."

Imagine a stack of 'em

I'm willing to bet that it'll take less than a week before some enterprising geek manages to collect about a million of these batteries and makes a big battery pile out of them to create the most powerful printed battery. Why? Because it's possible :D

(and it'll be posted on this site and we'll all be gawking at it and making jokes about Beowulf clusters of batteries, ad infinitum, ad nauseam)

That would be GOOD news. The bad part is that you will buy magazines and every other page the adds will shout at you.
