Japanese engineers from three universities have developed a new system for charging mobile phones with hydrogen. The generated hydrogen cell is a compact device with a fairly high output power, hydrogen produced from raw materials. Inside the fuel cell are thin sheets based on calcium hydride, which in contact with water, react with the release of electricity. According to engineers, create a completely eco-friendly and allows you to charge from one plate to 2-3 cellular phone, ensuring the generation of electricity for five hours .
Strictly speaking, to use hydrogen fuel cell can not only to charge the batteries, but also as a source of autonomous power for any electronics that does not require a current capacity of 200 watts. Japanese experts say that during the chemical reaction so-called gidrosinteza emits no harmful dispose of waste materials and power supplies can be in normal household waste. Supplied to specialty laminated shell that allows you to store a charge for 20 years, despite the fact that modern batteries lose power in 4-5 years from the start of use.
Developers say that before they released similar fuel where as the main element not used calcium hydride and magnesium hydride. However, as shown by experiments, the latter allows for a more stable reaction to generate electricity, but also to generate a given amount of electricity requires less of the original component. commercialize new "hydrogen battery" experts plan in 2013. Showing the development planned at CEATEC in Japan (in October) and in Germany at Electronica in Munich (in November).
