It seems green technology is beginning to see its day around the world, with new mechanisms being adopted to support green lifestyle. Some remarkable technology in going green has been showcased at the Greener Gadgets conference. With the advent of replaceable cartridges at your disposal, you can easily get away with the primitive batteries that run on electricity.
The latest development is a step toward saving electricity, as the charger will use replaceable direct cell cartridges running on methanol. The energy density of methanol is greater than even highly compressed hydrogen and store high energy content in a small space. However, the direct methanol fuel cells can produce small amount of power but store it over a long period of time, thereby making it ideal for small gadgets like cell phone, laptops, and cameras.
It is certain to mark a revolution in the field of gadget technology that seems to be enveloping the entire world. However, the limited quantity of methanol too needs to be kept in mind, which is currently derived from natural gas. Still, this is a grand step toward a new revolution in technology, using byproducts.
Green technology is soon engulfing the world and is definitely a right step toward sustainable environment and energy efficiency. Still, miles more to go before the entire world goes green with a fully green lifestyle.
