Toshiba showcases proto methanol fuel cell at IFA
Damian Koh | Sep 01, 2007
The future is here, finally. Well, almost. According to a Toshiba representative at IFA Berlin, its methanol fuel cell could possibly go commercial as early as next year. While portable battery packs can juice up your devices for a limited number of times before it has to be recharged, the company's fuel cell generates power using the concept of micro DMFC (Direct Methanol Fuel Cell) which provides a continuous stream of power via a mini-USB cable. Sounds nice, but show us the proper goods first, yeah?

i thought methanol is a volatile, flammable and poisonous liquid? is it safe to play around with? I'd be scared that somehow the battery pack gets burned and I'll get barbecued along by the almost invisible fire.
