| NEC recently announced a concept phone that may be coming to market soon. The concept cell phone, called "Flask" is powered by liquid fuel cell technology that can be seen through the cell phone's transparent casing. As power is drained from the cell phone the liquid fuel cells disappears. The Flask also features a touch-sensitive display. According to NEC, the "flask maintains the convenience of regular mobile phones, enclosed ultra-high-density packaging technology and fuel cell technology to express functional beauty. This is another possibility for the future of design." Traditional batteries may be coming to an end. Because of recent advances in fuel cell technology mobile devices such as laptops and mobile phones could run for days on a single charge. Fuel cell batteries are more like tiny chemical plants! |  |
NEC is also developing a fuel cell for laptops that could provide a whopping 40 hours of battery life.
