The future of water-powered cell phones draws nearer, as Samsung Electronics has created a micro-fuel cell and hydrogen generator that runs on good old H2O.

When the handset is turned on, the metal and water in the phone react to produce hydrogen gas. This gas is then supplied to the fuel cell where it reacts with oxygen in the air to generate power.

This fuel cell is very different than other fuel cells that utilize water. Others need methanol to produce hydrogen, while Samsung’s version requires only water.

The fuel cell is said to create power for 10 hours, which is nearly twice the length of rechargeable batteries.

It won’t be long until were filling up our cell phones with water before we go out, as Samsung is aiming to incorporate this technology in their cell phones by 2010.
