La semaine prochaine plus précisément… Mais Wowww ! Enfin une boîte qui a le courage de nous laisser jouer avec la technologie Fuel Cell… Limitée à seulement 3000 unités, au prix de 29,800 Yens et 3150 yens pour un set de 5 cartouches (50ml), la Dynario vous permettra de recharger « n’importe » quel appareil mobile, et ce de la plus élégante des manières possibles….
Aujourd’hui, les appareils consomment de plus en plus, notamment avec toutes les fonctions qu’embarquent nos appareils mobiles (Bluetooth, TV, Internet, Jeux, Musique, Vidéo…), ce qui réduit considérablement l’autonomie de nos batteries. Malheureusement, les batteries qui durent plus d’une journée se font très rares.
La batterie Dynario permettra justement de rallonger votre autonomie, et ce en quelques secondes. Pour cela, il vous suffit d’injecter une dose (14ml) de méthanol dans le réservoir de votre Dynario, et de la connecter à votre appareil (au total, cela vous prend 20 secondes). Cette charge permettra de redonner suffisamment de jus à deux téléphones mobiles classiques…
Disponible dès le 29 Octobre 2009.
TOKYO—Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502), a world leader in the development of fuel-cell technology for handheld electronic equipment, today announced the launch of its first direct methanol fuel-cell product: Dynario, an external power source that delivers power to mobile digital consumer products. Dynario, together with a dedicated fuel cartridge for refueling on the go, will be launched in Japan, in a limited edition of 3,000 units only, and will be exclusively available at Shop1048 (http://shop1048.jp/), Toshiba's direct-order web site for digital consumer products in the Japanese market. Orders will be accepted from October 22, and shipping will start on October 29.
The power consumption of mobile electronic devices, including mobile phones, has greatly increased with added functionality, including TV reception and Internet connectivity. As a result, battery exhaustion has become a major concern. Dynario’s DMFC delivers almost instant refueling that untethers electrical equipment from AC adapters and power outlets. It runs on mix of methanol and ambient oxygen, and the chemical reaction between the two in the fuel cell produces electricity.
Toshiba recognizes the DMFC as a high potential solution for portable equipment and is promoting intensive technology and product development, including improved practical use and downsizing.
The palm-sized Dynario is Toshiba's first DMFC product. Once fueled with an injection of methanol solution from its dedicated cartridge, Dynario starts to generate electricity that is delivered to a digital consumer product—a mobile phone or a digital media player—via a USB cable. On a single refill of methanol which can be made in an instant period (around 20 seconds), Dynario™ can generate enough power to charge two typical mobile phones.
Dynario integrates Toshiba's state-of-the-art fuel cell technology, allowing it to operate with only a small volume of concentrated methanol solution, reducing the size and weight of the fuel tank and the overall product. An ingenious fuel feed structure realizes uniform methanol delivery, and stable output to any attached device is fine-tuned by a built-in microcomputer. Performance is also optimized by Dynario's hybrid structure, which uses a lithium-ion battery charged by the fuel cell to store electricity. The dedicated fuel cartridge was co-developed with Toyo Seikan Kaisha, Ltd., one of Japan's leading packaging container companies.
Dynario and its fuel cartridge fully comply with the International Electrotechnical Commission's safety standards (provisional edition).
Toshiba will gauge customer reaction and opinion from the Japanese release of Dynario and reflect them in the development of future DMFC products.
