Don't bet on fuel cells

The manufacturer of fuel cells that can recharge mobile phones and portable music players told industrialists and policymakers on Friday not to count on the power packs to solve the energy crisis.

[blockquote]"Don't hold your breath on fuel cells. Every 10 years they say commercial deployment is only 10 years away. We're still not seeing any real fuel cells that can run, say, a car," said Robert Lifton, chief executive of Medis Technologies. He was participating in several discussions on energy at the World Economic Forum, an annual huddle of government officials, corporate executives and special interest groups.[/blockquote]

the key to all free energy is symphany, vibration, and frequency. if you put a tuning fork in water and hit it just right you can knock the hydrogen right off the oxygen and use it for whatever you like.

Well... he's wrong about one thing: there have been fuel-cell powered vehicles (if not production models) for years...
