Samsung Electronics has developed a docking station complete with a fuel cell that can power a laptop computer for up to a month. Samsung plans to launch the product at the end of 2007. A fuel cell is an electronic device similar to a battery that produces electricity from an external fuel supply as opposed to relying on limited internal energy storage. Hydrogen and oxygen are typical reactants used in fuel cells, which have been proposed to power everything from automobiles to laptop computers. Their only byproduct is water vapor.
