kurita built-in battery

According to the data of source, the Japanese company kurita water industries proposed to use in the fuel cells methanol, which is found in the solid state. The first models dry fuel were shown on the exhibition expo 2007 on this week.
The basic region of specialization kurita water industries is equipment for the water purification. Accumulated experience allowed the specialists of company to create solid methanol with the use of technology lattice structures, used in the water-cleaning installations. In the opinion companies, solid methanol are safe alternative to liquid methanol, intended for the fuel cells.

The essence of technology lattice structures consists in the fact that guest compound (in role of which in this case comes out methanol) it is retained in the solid state due to assuming compound.

Liquid methanol easily is set on fire and is toxic. Therefore in the fuel cells it is necessary to use durable cartridges for the storage and transports of methanol, and the transportation of methanol on the air transport is generally forbidden. New technology will make possible to overcome these limitations.

The first information about the developments Of kurita was published during October 2005. Then for the start of elements was necessary water. Prototypes shown in this year manage without water: it suffices to place the dry molding granules into the fuel cell, as electric energy generation begins.

On the energy density solid methanol approximately twice is inferior to its liquid fellow, but it frees from the need of using the bulky cartridge. Taking this in account, the indices of two forms of fuel become compared.

The first series products (by all appearances, these will device, make possible supplement the charge of the built-in battery of cell phone) are expected on the market for in summer this year.

The long-range plans of company include the creation of compact source, according to the dimensions that not exceeding the card memory SD. Such small batteries will be put directly in the cell phones.
