Hitachi Maxell Fuel Cell
   
Measuring 16 (H) x 10 (W) x 6 (D) cm (6 x 4 x 2.5 inches), this portable fuel cell  from Hitachi Maxell produces an average of 10 watts of power using nothing but water and  and alumunium. With 20 gms of alumunium the fuel cell can power a laptop for 4 to 5 hours at a stretch, claims Hitachi.

 

Hitachi is currently working  to improve the power to 100 watts and  use  alumunium scrap waste instead of regular alumunium.
