Finally, a good Apple story- Apple has plans to use hydrogen batteries to hold a charge for WEEKS! - Polidicks

[QUOTE=PyroCF;33938019]What happened to the Carbon-Nanotube batteries?[/QUOTE] Attention span of the community is what happened. That, or it's still out there, actually being developed.

[QUOTE=Contag;33938287] That's a good question. They might try to sell proprietary fuel cartridges. Which sucks considering electrolysis is easy.[/QUOTE] That would be terrible for their sales, who would want to buy shit to recharge your device all the time? I'd rather get a device that runs on old rechargeable batteries then. But then again, this is apple and apple fanboys won't mind.

Charge last for more than a week!* *Cannot be recharged, you can buy replacements from the Apple store for only $39.99 each! I was expecting that, almost, it's Apple after all

When i read the first line, I thought it was going to be about a good Cop, since they are been called apples nowadays.

[QUOTE=Nikota;33938541]In the future, there are no IEDs. Only hackers using peoples gadgets as bombs.[/QUOTE] Ah yes, the guerrilla warfare of the future will be fought with apple products and incredibly cheap PSUs.

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;33938925]Ah yes, the guerrilla warfare of the future will be fought with apple products and incredibly cheap PSUs.[/QUOTE] Why else do you think the USA is stepping up on "cyber security"

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;33938979]I hear most of the smart phones have a chance to blow up when exposed to "[I]extremely[/I]" cold conditions for no reason at all but this sounds like it could blow up anywhere.[/QUOTE]Nothing blows up for no reason at all. I am no chemist or physicist but I am quite sure there is a very sensible reason.

Apple does it again: Weekly addition to apple products that you'll have to shell out another $250 for a ENTIRE new product, even though your current one is mint.

Bad idea. Turning an iPhone into a hydrogen bomb while on a plane? No thank you.

Oh god now we wont get cars with hydrogen fuel cells! And then the oilfags will continue selling their dirty crap and eventually we will run out of oil!

No thank you.[/QUOTE] Your science is flawed, wait no, your intelligence is flawed. Do you really think the hydrogen in some fuel cell would just make mushroom clouds? Research your shit before just shitting up some random thread. Here, become a little bit less dumb: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teller%E2%80%93Ulam_design[/url]

Finally, battery technology really needs to be improved, especially with having to drain batteries and do a charge cycle every so often.

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;33938925]Ah yes, the guerrilla warfare of the future will be fought with apple products and incredibly cheap PSUs.[/QUOTE] But if they use Apple products in their bombs they couldn't afford to make a lot! :v:

This isnt new, people have made hydrogen batteries for mobiles for a while now, they never gained any foothold because: -The only viable cell type (PEM) uses platina which is very expensive. -These cells only have a 50% efficiency max. -Hydrogen is combustable. -The only way for distributing hydrogen is via small containers in stores which have to be made, shipped there, bought ect. The logistics of this cuts into the co2 footprint more then the current battery's. Leave it up to a company like apple to make it viable though, like they did with so manny existing tech. I also see it has 2 fans, one for the cartridge and one for the fuel cell stack. Bit weird on a phone?

How does it charge?

[QUOTE=Alexak75;33939977]How does it charge?[/QUOTE] It doesn't.

[QUOTE=ColossalSoft;33939088]Bad idea. Turning an iPhone into a hydrogen bomb while on a plane? No thank you.[/QUOTE] Oh shit you're made of atoms, now you're going to be an atom bomb.

[QUOTE=ColossalSoft;33939088]Bad idea. Turning an iPhone into a hydrogen bomb while on a plane? No thank you.[/QUOTE] The H-bomb is a 3 stage bomb mainly composed of lithium 6 and 7 , while the lithium is the main part of the bomb , the hydrogen is mainly just a way to trigger the nuclea reaction for the lithium 7 to fission into lithium 6 and emit radioactive fallout.

This patent is for laptop batteries. Not any iOS device.

Maybe I'm missing something, but aren't there already rechargeable lithium-ion batteries which only bleed about ~3% charge per month? What stops them from using those? [editline]28th December 2011[/editline] Oh, they mean total capacity, not shelf life for a charge! Nevermind. Also this is technically a fuel cell and not a battery I think!

So they are putting bombs in for batteries. Great.

[QUOTE=ColossalSoft;33939088]Bad idea. Turning an iPhone into a hydrogen bomb while on a plane? No thank you.[/QUOTE] Look how deep the American propaganda seeps into the youth's minds.

[QUOTE=Stockers678;33937424]They've actually developed a method, here are the proposed blueprints [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/article-0-0F45BD7200000578-684_468x265.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/article-0-0F45BD6E00000578-848_468x369.jpg[/IMG] In the OP they go[/QUOTE] That isn't a blue print of the actual structure, it's a simple description of the technology needed so they could get the patent (and sue anyone who uses anything similar). So no they probably haven't developed an actual method yet.

Apple actually doing something new? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzlG28B-R8Y[/media]

[QUOTE=exiam;33942727]you're blaming apple for adding something to a product..[i]weekly?[/i] are you fucking kidding me? as opposed to the "BEST EVER" android headset that comes out ever other week?[/QUOTE] There are no Android specific headsets. Perhaps you meant handset which is entirely different.

I heard that hydrogen batteries already exist, just not in phones or handheld devices. Can't give Apple much credit on this one but glad to see they're using it.

[url]http://gizmodo.com/5065858/panasonic-laptop-fuel-cell-delivers-20-hours-of-power-with-highly-concentrated-methanol[/url] Methanol powered ones are less efficient, buuuut methanol is infinitely easier to contain and won't decide to randomly combust with little to no provocation. Also not the first people to consider or produce a functional fuel cell for a laptop. Hydrogen is not a good substance to work with. It is extremely difficult to contain, transport, and distribute.

This just in: Apple patents hydrogen, universe's most common element.

Nuclear iphone? A terrorists dream.

[QUOTE=Holy-Smokes;33939144]Oh god now we wont get cars with hydrogen fuel cells![/QUOTE] You think we would have anyway?
