GPS powered by fuel cells

Published on May 5th, 2008 in gps navigation, magellan, misc news

MTI Micro last week unveiled a new embedded micro fuel cell prototype design for handheld GPS devices called Mobion. Mobion powered GPS prototype provides three times as much energy as GPS devices powered by four disposable AA batteries and can generate up to 60 hours of continuous power and provide weeks instead of days of typical usage.

This new Mobion powered GPS prototype also includes a USB interface, allowing you to use it as an independent energy source for a variety of purposes, including for recharging mobile phones, digital cameras, portable media players and other handheld electronic devices. The Mobion powered GPS prototype can be immediately recharged by refilling it with methanol.

    Just imagine trying to use this GPS on a plane and then trying to refuel it on the way.

    The problem is now no one will be able to use a gps on an aircraft just in case yours is one of those “methanol” ones.
