New development on the liquid-powered battery front. Samsung’s apparently "developed a micro-fuel cell and hydrogen generator that runs on H20."
Metal and water inside the phone bump uglies to produce hydrogen, which is supplied to a small fuel cell where it bumps uglies with oxygen. After all is said and done, you’ve got about three watts of power. That’s enough for about 10 hours of use. Not too shabby, eh?
One snag. There’ll be a hydrogen cartridge that has to be replaced every so often (about five days if you use the phone four hours a day). Later efforts will likely not require replaceable cartridges, though.

I guess thats cool, but how much will it cost?
Unless it can save you money I don’t see the point. Plus, didn’t someone just come out with a battery for laptops that lasts for 30 years?
What happends when it gets cold idiots
By definition, this will NOT be powered by water. Water is the ashes of the combustion of hydrogen or a hydrocarbon. Water is a very low-energy molecule, which is one of the reasons there’s so much of it around. It falls from the sky, for crying out loud.
As a chemistry teacher, let me inform you that there is so little energy contained in water as to be inconsequential, and the person who wrote this article is ignint.
I guess nothing if the phone is in your pocket…I’ve never had anything freeze whilst it’s been in my pocket ;)
thats a new one
hola como estan espero que bien yo soy estela de san juan
hola yo soy beatriz de estado unidos
if it in ur pocket,what if it leaks?
that would suck and if u dropped it water would go all over.
better rethink this one people!!
Hi well i think its a good idea
