How it works?

• Step 1 The handset is turned on
• Step 2 Metal and water in the phone react to
  produce hydrogen gas
• Step 3 The gas is then supplied to the fuel cell
  where it reacts with oxygen in the air to
  generate power (Other fuel cells need methanol
  to produce hydrogen, while Samsung's needs only
  water)
• Step 4 Power in converted into power that can
  be used by the phone
• It can generate up to three watts of electricity

Limitations

• If the user uses the phone for four hours a day
  on average, they would have to change the
  hydrogen cartridge about every five days
• What kind of water?
• Temperature?

Benefits

• New fuel cell could power a handset for ten
  hours, twice as long as rechargeable batteries
• Step closer to handsets that dont need the
  hydrogen cartridges to be changed, and would only
  need to be filled with water
