'30-day' fuel cell battery for laptops

Samsung has revealed a new laptop run on fuel cells that it syas could last for up to a month.

The Sense Q35 laptop has been developed to come with a high-capacity fuel cell storage system that allows it, the manufacturers claim, to run for eight hours a day and five days a week for a month without recharging.

Unveiled at the company showroom in Korea, the Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) offers an energy density of 650 Wh/L and has a total energy storage of 12,000Wh.

Additionally, Samsung has said that it has overcome previous noise problems with using fuel cells in laptops, and now the new system is no louder than conventional laptops.

Speaking to website TechNewsWorld.co.uk, Endpoint Technologies Associates principal analyst Roger Kay said: "Fuel cell technology is on the brink. It's coming. There's still engineering to be worked out, which is why it's not on the shelves yet. But fuel cells are very promising for the future."

While some have said that the laptop power-station is rather bulky, it is currently slimmer than other fuel cell powered laptops currently being developed.

The Sense Q35 fuel cell laptop is in the process of undergoing further safety tests, and has been predicted to be available on the market by the end of 2007.
