Canon Fuel Cells for Cameras
May 19, 2008 · Print This Article
Canon is currently working on developing fuel cells for DSLRs, where a new patent application will solve the problems of supplying fluctuating current from the cells. Canon decided to ditch the traditional method of using just one fuel cell (or an entire bank) working in tandem, but will instead operate somewhat like an inkjet printer with a handful of fuel cells outputting varying degrees
of voltages which can later be mixed and matched. that enables high-draw operations like mirror-flipping or flash charging to obtain the essential capability called for. Well, it would be nice to see that technology trickle down to everyday point-and-shoot cameras in the end as well.Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones
