Solves Battery Limitations and Significantly Extends Power Time in
Smartphones, Tablets, Laptops and Drones
Intelligent
Energy, the energy technology company, today unveiled a number of
consumer electronic prototypes powered by an embedded hydrogen fuel
cell, to significantly extend the up time of the devices and provide a
solution to the battery life conundrum facing consumers today. The
prototypes will be on display throughout the week at a special
Intelligent Energy Embedded World event at CES
2016 and follow on from the company’s announcement on December
15, 2015 that it has developed a prototype hydrogen fuel cell
powered range extender for drones.

Intelligent Energy’s presence at CES 2016 will demonstrate how embedded
hydrogen fuel cell technology can untether people from the constraints
of traditional energy sources and infrastructures. By embedding a
hydrogen fuel cell into a phone, drone, tablet or laptop, consumers of
energy can become producers of energy and have the freedom of instant
energy for their electronic devices when and where they want it. The
fuel cell technology fits into the existing hardware. There is no need
for any existing battery technology to be removed to accommodate the
fuel cell, but instead the two work side by side.
In the last 12 months, Intelligent Energy’s technology has been
recognized by awards at CES 2015 (Innovation Award Honoree), Edison
(2015 Gold Award winner) and Business Green (Breakthrough of the Year
and Technology of the Year). “Our award winning technology can be scaled
up or down for a vast range of commercial applications either to
independently power the device or complement the existing battery,” said
Julian Hughes, Acting Managing Director for Intelligent Energy’s
Consumer Electronics Division. “The additional fuel cell provides a dual
power source to extend device life by up to an entire week.
“The existing grid infrastructure was not designed to keep up with
today’s power requirements and alternatives need to be developed, which
is where we come in. What we are aiming for is to mobilize energy
production for consumer electronics and unleash the potential to realize
a true global wireless economy.”
Intelligent Energy recognizes the importance of energy on demand as
consumers are more connected and mobile than ever, with experts
predicting that there will be upwards of 50
billion connected objects by 2020.
