Toshiba plans to launch an external battery charger based on a DMFC (direct methanol fuel cell) in the next two months, its new president said on Wednesday. The charger will be a portable device that can be used to charge the batteries in portable gadgets such as cell phones, music players and portable game devices instead of plugging them into an electrical outlet. DMFCs produce electricity from a reaction between methanol, water and air. The only by-products are a small amount of water vapor. (source: pcworld.com)
