Water powered cell phones will be ready by 2010

[SUBMAN1]

I'm not a fan of cell phones, but anything powered by water is cool in my book! :up:

Be interesting to see what the metal is. The only one I can think of (and my chemistry is admittedly rusty) that would react with water to produce hydrogen and a metal oxide is sodium and its cousins. That reaction winds up producing a lot of heat and a corrosive solution afterwards.

Any chemistry wizzes out there who can clarify this?

there also could be a nuclear powered cell phone... better not to dangerous right?:rotfl:

Bah...
I want a Diesel-Electric cell phone!

Bah...
I want a Diesel-Electric cell phone!

"That's a weird ring tone you have."

Ringing or pinging?

Depends on the metal, it probably could. Gah, my Chemistry got rusty already! (And I plan to work in Nuclear science :oops:)

EDIT: Waaaaaaait a min! The metal used is *checks chemistry periodic table* aw darn, it's not in there. I just read the redux reaction equation they had in the diagram. I thought they already said what metal it was in the equation= Me+2H20 --> Me(OH)2+H2. I thought "Me" was an actual element :oops: (My thought went to Molybdenum it's "Mo" lol)

SMS's are reported by yells of "ALARM!"
my phone's got the various Submarine Nuclear Reactor alarm, collision and diving alarms as ring tones! :lol: (I recorded them onto the phone) I could probably shout "ALARM!" for my SMS :p
