Samsung has demonstrated a docking station incorporating a 1,200-watt-hour fuel cell for laptop computers. When powered by presented fuel cell, Samsung Sense Q35 notebook can work without recharging up to one month, assuming it runs for eight hours a day five days a week.
Fuel cells use state-of-the-art energy-generating technology that sparks a reaction between hydrogen and oxygen won through the electrolyzation of water to produce electricity, according to the reports.
Samsung also developed a smaller fuel cell, which can operate a laptop for 15 hours with around 100 cc of fuel, “less than the size of a paper cup”.
The company’s reporesentatives say Samsung will spearhead efforts to introduce fuel cells into the market by the end of next year, when all safety standards are established.
Besides the advantage of much longer battery life, fuel cells are claimed to have other advantages, such as very short recharging time by simply adding more fuel.
