University spinoff wants vodka to power your cell phone
This is the second article today where I have double checked the date to make sure it doesn't read April 1st - it doesn't, it's dated March 30, so I guess it's on the level. Here goes from Silicon.com: "A St. Louis company developing technology that can power up a cell phone's battery with vodka and having the charge last for a week. Potential uses for Akermin's technology include powering a cell phone or laptop computer using vodka, beer or any other ethanol-based substance." - Oh, and "Cooking oil, sugar and many other organic substances will work, too, but ethanol is more efficient". |
