Fuel Cells is the future of mobility
In my job I come accross lots of new technology, but much of it leaves me luke warm. What got me really hot was when I first was introduced to the Fuel cell headset. I realised this is so amazing that it will totally transform the world.
Earlier this week at Nokia Connection our former CTO Dr. Yrjö Neuvo, showed the press the fuel cell powered headset. They were excited. I am trilled. Let me alaborate why this is so amazing:
1.) Liquid is esentially free from form and will thus enable us to make radically different electronics. It will stimulate an era of organically shaped electronics, only familiar to people watching sci-fi movies.
2.) The concept of re-fuelling is already normal behaviour for everyone driving a car, extending it to re-fuelling electronics should not be a problem.
3.) No more cable and power adapter hell. What I notice when I go sailing is that the bulk of my adapters is equal of that of my gadgets. Now I would just have to bring along a small bottle of fuel and few small nozzle adapters and I would be mobile for a fair amount of time.
4.) The distribution of fuel could become as ubiquitious as the distribution of batteries.
The little bottle in the picture would last for about two weeks. Anyone who ever designed small electronics will know what amazing limitation to form traditional batteries will cause, now the shape is not limiting imagination. I will follow the evolution of this technology with great interest
