Hydrogen power for mobile phones


Canadian company Angstrom Power has demonstrated a significant step in the development of hydrogen-powered cell phones. Unlike previous attempts at hydrogen-powered phones, Angstrom Power´s prototype allows the fuel cell to fit comfortably inside the phone, and can last twice as long between refueling than phones powered with lithium-ion batteries.

Angstrom Power has hydrogen-powered Motoslvr cell phones currently in testing. The fuel cell version looks identical to the battery version, but another advantage of the new technology is that it can refuel in as little as 10 minutes.
There are some issues to overcome though, such as the methods refueling, availability of fuel and safety issues such as vulnerability to heat. Angstrom Power is working on various solutions and hopes to have the technology commercially available by 2010.
