Inventor is Foreign Talent?
Horizon fuel cell technologies, a Singapore based company recently unveiled “Hydrofill,” their latest innovations in electronic gadget technologies during the Consumer Electronic Show 2010 (CES) which was held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“Hydrofill” is a portable fuel cell system designed towards charging electronic gadgets through a process extracting hydrogen through water. The entire process is clean and quick as the process of extracting hydrogen through water only results in production of water vapour.
The hydrogen which is obtained from water is then stored in special cartridges which fits in a pocket sized minipak. A range of devices like Ipods, mobile phones, GPS systems to camera rechargeable batteries can be charged through these minipak which houses a USB port. This device can be used on the go or away from electric sockets thus providing great convenience towards the consumers.
Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies have been known for their earlier innovative launch of an educational toy solar hydrogen car which became an exclusive Gizmag story in 2006. The production of these Horizon toy cars became widely acclaimed in the world for its largest volume produced commercial fuel-cell driven products. After four year, their plans have been put to action focussing every home to have a hydrogen station, thus creating a great technological advancement.
Horizon is one of the few companies in the world which makes renewable energy devices quite appealing to those interested in hydrogen.
The only drawback which arises out of this invention is the non-refillable nature of the cartridges. This is the only area which needs to be worked at if the company needs to make a mark in off-grid power driven green industry. Priced at around $150, the MiniPak will be made available by April this year. Though this is considered to be more expensive than a standard remote charger, the company hopes that this could be a great approach towards the energy enthusiasts.
