New portable electric generator
Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies developed a new product which was presented at CES Las Vegas, Nevada (Consumer Electronics Show).
The Singapore based Horizon fuel cell technologies is showing off the Hydrofill, a fuel cell system
designed for charging electronic gadgets at CES 2010.
The product will be released later this year and allows users to charge up their favourite mobile or small electronics with a hydrogen fuel cell.
The device extracts the hydrogen from water and stores it in special cartridges, which fit into the pocket size minipak. the minipak uses a USB port to charge everything from ipods and cameras to rechargeable batteries and GPS devices.
The process of turning water into hydrogen is very clean too, since its only produces water vapour as a result.
Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies, which first became known to the general public with an exclusive Gizmag story in 2006 about the company’s educational toy solar hydrogen car.
The Horizon toy cars quickly became the world’s largest volume-produced commercial fuel cell products and it is quite an irony that less than half a decade later, the company which launched with a toy car appears set to introduce genuinely disruptive technology into the home, finally enabling the long-touted futuristic vision of a hydrogen station in every home.
