The Horizon Fuel Cell company is preparing to release to market their Minipak AA compatible fuel cell that runs on water. They say it has enough stored energy to charge 1000 AA batteries. This looks like a great addition to the consumer fuel cell market. They are also planning to market notebook capacity fuel cells in the near future. It’s a pity they are still energy negative when the full amount of energy that is consumed in their creation is accounted for but at least they are significantly more efficient on the consumer end of the deal than the options we are currently faced with.
