[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 535272, member: 259515"] [IMG]http://mos.techradar.com//images/toshiba-direct-methanol-fuel-cell-200-200.jpg[/IMG] As the days of oil and coal draw to a close, developments in renewable energies are coming thick and fast, with the latest being a powerhouse of a fuel cell that has the potential to supply electricity for tens of thousands of hours at a time. The so-called Solid-Oxide fuel cell comes from the Energy and Environmental Systems Laboratories of NTT, a Japanese telecoms company we've come across before. [B]Scale the key[/B] Residing in the 1-kilowatt class, the new cell is for an office or small factory, rather than a house, but could be developed in the domestic direction if needed. The material inside the new cell is a lanthanum-nickel-iron oxide compound, which allows NTT to build it sufficiently large to deliver substantial quantities of energy. [B]Years of electricity[/B] Older cells of this type relied on zirconium, a material that restricted cell size and capacity as it could not be scaled up. If the device is ever commercialised - NTT has no plans yet - uptimes measured in years, rather than hours, have a clear appeal for an oil-free future.
