Sugar Batteries!!!

One of the major research areas in communication nowadays is power supply. Mobile phones have almost reached their level of saturation with cameras, internet, high capacity memory already integrated in a single handset. Modern handsets are accoutred with long life batteries, but still , their is the hassle of carrying chargers around. Chargers means wires, so the purpose of MOBILE gets hampered. Researchers are coming up with newer and innovative ideas in battery charging. One such idea is the development of a Fuel cell which would run on sugar, developed at Saint Louis University.This fuel cell battery is said to run on virtually any sugar source - from soft drinks to tree sap - and has the potential to operate three to four times longer on a single charge than conventional lithium ion batteries. But research is still underway. The running temperature of this battery is still not flexible. The battery could be a boon for frequent travellers, for rural population, and for defence personnel. Ideally, these batteries would contain special cartridges that are pre-filled with a sugar solution.
These cartridges then could be replaced when they're used up.


Just imagine this technology being implemented.
