Year 2010: Charging your mobile phone with water

Samsung: “Get Ready for Water-Powered Cell Phones”

Source: CNET.com.au

Samsung Electro-Mechanics has developed a micro-fuel cell and hydrogen generator that runs on water.

Oh Yong-soo, the vice president of Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ research centre, said that when the handset is turned on, “metal and water in the phone react to produce hydrogen gas”.

The gas is then supplied to a hydrogen cartridge – which reportedly needs replacing after about 5 days constant use. At this stage – that’s a major hiccup. On one hand, we’re “saving the environments resources”; on the other, we’re producing a non-rechargable cartridge.

Don’t worry! Samsung say they will have a better alternative down the track, maybe one that means you should be able to just top up your mobile as needed.

So – I’m wondering if by 2010, they will have already also fine tuned that feature?!

If you like:

  • triple j

  • not very good trivia (and sometimes not very good humour, ie the best kind)
  • sleeping in on a Saturday (which means you miss j tv)

then you best subscribe to the j tv vodcast

Pants with an inbuilt keyboard gives double meaning to A minor?

No time to “slack off” for Musicians…

Sorry – I know, both bad puns!

Just a quick one.

We almost didn’t believe it when we read it, so we thought it was best to share this great post from Engadget with you:

Keyboard infused pants make it okay to grab your crotch

We didn’t even think we should adjust their title – it’s just too good. Thanks Darren from Engadget, nice find!
