The history of the use of batteries can be traced back to the 1800's. However, Sharp has revealed a mobile fuel cell prototype in which you can power your future tech-toy with a powered solution of Methanol. The fuel cell can produce energy using only methanol, air, and water. Still in it's prototype stages, this innovation shows a promising look at a "greener" side of technology, which many manufacturers are starting to focus on. By implementing such technology into laptops, and mobile phones, charging times can be made instant, which would be a must-have for those on the go.
Are we, as consumers, ready to replace technology that has served us well for decades? Let's hear your thoughts.

it will still be considered a battery...just a greener battery
we can't get rid of batteries untill we advance our ability to wirelessly charge our stuff. and that's not goin too well at the moment
Remember Back to the Future Part 2? The DeLorean ran on waste! The year was 2015! That's around the corner for us!
If you want a truly green fuel, the only way to go is Hydrogen Fuel Cells. Preferably ones that don't go boom like the Hindenburg. That's always an extra added bones, not burning to a crisp.
But seriously, I'd like to thank Sharp for advancing battery technology. Now take this idea, replace Methenol with Hydrogen, and run with it.
And it makes a great Hydrogen Tank.
It was criticised for a long time as you need to produce Hydrogen in a green manner - just because the end product would be green and wouldnt output CO2 (or simmilar environmentally damaging products) doesnt mean the production of Hydrogen is green.... however it sems within the last year they have the possibility to do this now, using chemical reactions supposedly that are green. If this is the case then we should try switching to Hydrogen asap
And it makes a great Hydrogen Tank.
The image you posted is of a Nitrogen tank, not Hydrogen, and I am pretty sure its carbon fibre, not kevlar. Not saying what you wrote is wrong, just saying you used the wrong image
