Samsung improves prototype brandstofcelbatterij

Samsung has the prototype of the brandstofcelaccu improved. The prototype can be a laptop a month of electricity. Fuel cell technology looks promising. Yet it takes a few years before the first models on the market will appear.


Samsung has an improved prototype of the brandstofcelaccu show in his bedrijfsshowroom. The new battery is smaller than the previous prototype, but it does have the same lifetime. According to Samsung, the laptop battery for a month, eight hours per day of electricity.

Noise
The technique is used DIRECT METHANOL FUEL CELL (Direct Methanol Fuel Cell) and has been incorporated into the laptopdock. The fuel cell has a capacity of 650 Wh per litre and could total 1200 Wh of energy supply. Brandstofcelbatterijen usually produce much sound. Samsung already had a prototype on the market in which the noise level is greatly reduced. This prototype has a low noise level.
Because the brandstofcelaccu delivers more energy than an average battery, there are new opportunities. Better displays is one of the options.

Breakthrough
"Fuel cell technology is on the verge of a breakthrough. It is coming. There is still work to improve the technology, it is the product not yet available on the shelves. Brandstofcelaccu But there are promising for the future," said Roger Kay, Endpoints Technologies Associates principal analyst at TechNewsWorld.co.uk. Both Toshiba and Samsung have been working for some time to brandstofcelaccu. Yet it may still take some years before the first laptops with brandstofcelaccu's in the shop.
