      Wenn es denn wahr ist, was ZDnet in diesen von  
Aethylalkohol getränkten Jahres/zeiten berichtet, dann  
könnte die nächste Generation von Mobiltelephonen statt an  
der Steckdose beim nächsten Wirten mit den genannten   
Substanzen aufgeladen werden.

Manhattan Scientifics Inc. said it has come up with a "pre- 
prototype" micro fuel cell that could be used to power a cell  
phone. Fuel cells generate power through a chemical  
process without combustion. 
 
"It can run on ethanol - which is vodka. It will run longer on  
something strong, but we are using a wate 
.... 
"You could screw the fuel cell into one of those little shot  
bottles, but then we would have a liability problem - people  
would be trying to drink their phones," he added. 
 
Hockaday is aiming to solve the convenience problem of  
having to constantly recharge cell phone batteries. 
Rather than plugging the phone or its battery into an electric  
outlet, his fuel cell system would allow cell phone users to  
recharge by injecting a small alcohol-filled cartridge. 
Hockaday's prototype cell can run for about two weeks on an  
ampule of fuel, but the company's ultimate objective is six  
months of uninterrupted usage. A commercial version of the  
miniature fuel cell could be available in about a year and a  
half, the scientist said.
