Apple is working on battery that lasts for weeks


It is one of the biggest annoyances of phone users: a battery that is empty too fast. In a poll we just by announcing the iPhone 4S organized, it appeared even the most desirable feature in the new iPhone : 33% of our readers would prefer a better battery. In second place was a larger screen (27%) and third place a dual-core processor (only 12%!). It is clear: battery life is a hot topic, but all indications are that Apple is working with it. The company needs more and more patent applications, dealing with a new generation of fuel cells.

In two recently published patent application describes how batteries can be developed for MacBooks and iOS devices that last for weeks. The December 22, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office a number of patent applications in which fuel their project further explained. The new type of battery is designed for portable devices. Last October, Apple released the first patent on this subject, in which the main lines were plotted. Now filled in details, such as using MagSafe connector for charging an iPhone or MacBook. It seems that Apple is about a breakthrough to force.







Fuel cells have been around for several years (see the fuel in the picture above, taken by NASA), but actually broken in mobile phones and laptops, the technology yet. Instead we keep messing around with devices that last for more than one day. The two documents are now before the USPTO, Apple says that the fuel they have developed the need for a large and heavy battery lifting. A hydrogen fuel cell converts hydrogen and oxygen into water and electrical energy. The only byproduct is water, so the batteries do not contain harmful substances have to last much longer. The technology can already be used in electric cars. Apple patent application pulls in a lot of world suffering from the closet to explain why these fuel cells are better: the United States are very dependent on fossil fuels, causing political and military relations should be maintained with unstable governments in the Middle East. In addition, the own residents exposed to the dangers of offshore drilling platforms. Consumers are becoming more and more aware that they prefer to use renewable energy types. The beauty is that the fuel cells almost exclusively benefits. They are smaller and lighter than conventional batteries and last longer. Electronic devices can last for days or even weeks, Apple writes in the new patent applications, called "Fuel Cell System to Power a Portable Computing Device" and "Fuel Cell System Coupled to a Portable Computing Device 'wear.
