Mobile phones may soon be powered by hydrogen
Fuel cell maker Angstrom Power and cell phone maker Motorola have teamed up to create a prototype mobile phone that runs on a hydrogen fuel cell, media reported Monday.
Hydrogen is produced -- by cracking water molecules -- with a desktop fueling station and then inserted into a metal hydride storage container on the phone, said Aron Levitz, manager of business development for Angstrom. When the hydrogen molecules pass through a membrane in the fuel cell, electrons are stripped away and get diverted to run the phone.
