metalic zinc as fuel...
basically, you have a fuel cell that consumes zinc to produce electricity. At
the fuel station you buy zinc by the kg, dump it in the tank, empty and
refresh the old (zinc laden) acid and refill the acid tank... and go...
No batteries, no mess, smaller engines

Zinc plays a part in both an unconventional fuel cell (such as you
say) and also in Zinc-Air batteries which have much longer range than
many kinds, but always had problems trying to be conventional
rechargeables (too easily oxidized?) and have to be rebuilt I guess
in another approach. I know

Right: they were EFCX, now changed. In my mind I lump them with MHTX
(methanol fuel cells, etc.) and MDTL (micro fuel cells) in their sort
of New-York-Israel connection.
