Alternative power source would replace rechargeable batteries

Cell phones free from nightly recharges. Laptop computers that run and run
without needing an outlet. Pocket TVs with enough power to show a Ken Burns
documentary.

Portable gadgets are demanding more and more juice. A viable alternative to
rechargeable batteries isn't here yet, but when it comes, it might work like
the device about the size and weight of a deck of cards in William Acker's
hand.

It's a micro fuel cell.

The prototype created by Acker's company, MTI Micro Fuel Cells Inc., relies
on a minute flow of methanol to generate electricity. MTI Micro aims to
shrink the prototype and begin selling its first commercial fuel cell
product in 2004.
