camwynAlcohol-powered laptops ahead
BBC News Online technology correspondent - Toshiba has unveiled a prototype fuel cell it hopes will become the power source for laptops in the future.
The fuel cell breaks down methanol to generate power and, Toshiba claims, will provide enough juice to run a laptop for about five hours.
To get the cell working, the alcohol fuel is provided in small 50cc cartridges. Toshiba hopes to put the fuel cell on sale in early 2004.
Man, if this works and I ever get a laptop, even my computer would drink more than I do.
