Hey Keith biz.yahoo.com Scientifics' Micro Fuel Cell Reaches 3X Energy of Lithium-Ion Cell Phone Batteries New, More Efficient Cell To Be Incorporated in Prototype Cellular Phone LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Manhattan Scientifics, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MHTXE - news) announced today a major research breakthrough: a Micro Fuel Cell(TM) test device achieved a specific energy output three times greater than standard lithium ion batteries currently used for cellular telephones. Manhattan Scientifics' researchers believe their achievement of three times the energy output of lithium ion batteries is a step toward incremental increases in energy output. The research team is targeting a goal to exceed 10 times the energy output of conventional batteries. The test cell, developed at the company's Los Alamos research center, was powered by methanol and water, similar to common windshield washer fluid. In technical terms, it achieved a specific energy of 300 Watt*hours/kilogram of fuel. In theory this means that Micro Fuel Cell(TM) powered products could run three times longer on an ampule of fuel when compared with a rechargeable lithium ion battery of the same weight. Methanol powered micro fuel cells have the ultimate potential to deliver 30 times the energy of today's lithium ion batteries. According to Manhattan Scientifics' Chief Fuel Cell Scientist, Robert Hockaday, his research team recently incorporated a new efficiency innovation that provides more useful energy than the team was able to produce in previous test cells. He went on to state, ``Recently we have been focusing our efforts on new ways of improving fuel and energy efficiency. These latest results were stunning. And, based on what we've seen with these test cells I would consider these latest refinements to be one of the breakthroughs we have been seeking. The next step for the research team is to incorporate the new test cells into a working prototype cellular phone.' now what is their pink sheet status? moosie
