A Portable (and Squeezable) Way to Recharge

This month, a lightweight, disposable fuel cell developed in Israel is being shipped around the world. The New York Tiimes reports in an article on fuel cells to recharge cellphones, PDA’s, MP3 players and other mobile devices.

"The fuel cell is housed in a flexible plastic shell a bit larger than a deck of cards. The cell comes with a cable to link it to the device that needs recharging. Squeeze the shell, plug in the cable, and the fuel cell starts to do its work: a chemical reaction produces electricity, and a dead Razr is brought to life more swiftly than Frankenstein.

... Many other micro fuel cells for various uses are either on the market or will be soon."
