I look forward to not hunting battery suppliers and wall sockets so frequently on holidays and business trips. As for methanol fuel, it is not the most ideal fuel i guess but if the aviation industry and the health and safety people have certified it, then i have a level of faith, as they tend to be thorough to the point of fanatical. I came across another company that has a fuel cell for consumer electronics which is powered on ethanol. This sounds like it might have some advantages from a safety and environmental perspective. It also does not have the platinum catalysts in it which evidently will make it cheaper than methanol fuelled Fuel Cells.
