#7 Years ago I saw a nylon or polyprop type fuel cell for cellphones...

Ran a phone for a week on 1 oz of windshield washer fluid.

The whole thing was nixed cuz panasonic would lable and manufacture their batts with no up front cost - that made a pure profit center for the mobile folks so why build a factory to make fuelcells. Factories have cost.
