CES: Horizon Turns Ordinary Tap Water Into Electricity

Back


Watch as Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies shows off a handful of devices at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show that turn ordinary tap water into electricity, which can then be used to supply power to a range of devices - from notebook computers to mobile phones. TechWebTV's David Berlind interviews the company's co-founder Taras Wankewycz to find out how the Singapore-based startup has managed this bit of magic.

And for a sneak peak of all the cool stuff that will be at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in January, click here:

It's a worthless, shitty "invention". Does any one have a laptop consuming less then 50W?? probably not, except small ones. The rated maximum output is 50W, that means it's impossible to charge both your laptop and mobile at the same time. This isn't even good in an emergency, use 2kg of LiPO cells and you have 500+ charges, maby out of the sun?!? Some will say, but this is good becouse u can change cartridge, I say use more batteries in that case.

Okay, guys, this isn't perpetual motion and no one is saying it is. This is for emergency power. Chemicals can break water up and release hydrogen. It takes more energy to create the chemicals than you'll get out, but that's why the guy here said it's meant for times when you're "in a pinch." Probably, the reporter doesn't realize this, but that's his fault.

This could possbly be revolutionary, by 20 bucks for a glass of water? Thats sounds a little scary.

This reporter is a gullible fool and the salesman is a lying conman. But hey, if it has a booth at CES, it must be real, right?
