Water Powered Calculator

April 26th, 2006 · 5 Comments

The water powered calculator looks like normal calculator but it use no battery. Just feed some water for the calculator and it can last for 3 months before next reload.

A cap full of water in the H2O battery can power the calculator for up to 3 months. And this calculator isn’t a wimpy, dinky thing; you get a full-function calculator with large keys and a large 12-digit display.

My two cents

I am very interested to know that how it works. Is it some kind of fuel-cell technology? But, water?! :roll:

    Yes, I am curious of the technology too. Have they found a renewable energy? Can this replace fuels? Hmm… really interesting.

    Wow, does that work for cars too? No need to pump petrol anymore, just pour water into our petrol tank :)

    I only could imagine how much Mili-Amps of current does a H2O battery is capable of producing, and its volts? I suggest it could be about 200 mA at 1.2 Volts DC which is REALLY low in terms of mA for most of battery powered applications. I only see this technology powering simple devices that consumes very little mili-amps such as small clocks, multi-function alarm clocks (not printers ;) for that you would need a truck load of water about the size of your house), calculators (see in the descritition, this battery can power THIS calculator for 3 months, a calculator like this consumes very little power, using a regular duracell battery on this same calculator should power it for a minimum of 3 years without needing to change the battery, and they are speaking of 3 months max for that battery, I guess powering a 1.2 volts incandencent regular flashlight lightbulb should only last about 30 seconds before you would be required to refill this battery with water again
