DoCoMo + Aquafairy Co. = "micro" fuel cells

Docomo2005fuelcellsidebyside

The delightfully named Aquafairy is teamed with the peculiarly-hypnotically named DoCoMo to develop even tinier fuel cells to run the FOMA 3G handsets under even more demanding situations (mobiles with built-in cameras, mp3 players, GPS, and toasters). The latest buzz is about a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) that'll be unveiled at the Wireless Japan 2006 in Tokyo. It's another hydrogen cell, but twice as powerful as last year's methanol cell (shown here) and a quarter the size, since it uses Aquafairy thin film power unit technology (go go power unit!) and also their catalyst for turning water into hydrogen. So it's better for the environment, too! [GT]
