Why not on one of the newer Intel Atom based laptops, with an LED backlit screen. - Ttror Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:53:30 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/biofuels/1908#comment-18607 maybe we need to go solid state and led first? - Brent Norris Wed, 10 Sep 2008 01:37:13 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/biofuels/1908#comment-17618 When will have solar/heat energy powered one??? Anyone working on that? - Sillydog Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:05:00 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/biofuels/1908#comment-17414 The poster says that 10-hour battery usage is not enough, as she would have to refill it daily. However, most laptops can plug into conventional electricity at home and use batteries when off-site. Is this similar, or is it battery-only? Must a computer be "on" more than 8 hours a day? To me, that's enough computing for anyone; even at work you do not need to run your computer all day, especially when away from your desk. Even if you get an E-mail while you're away, you won't answer it until you get back, right? If you have separate computers at home and at work, and have two batteries, that would give you 16 hours a day of computing time. I agree with the comment that said that this should be done with new computers, and I would especially suggest, as a Mac user, that Apple (which now has a space on its home page called "Apple greener") look into it. - Sally G Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:47:12 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/biofuels/1908#comment-17269 Wowowow! im just not sure how exactly it will work - so is this like your car? you will refuel it by replacing cartridges? interesting... but a laptop is something that you use for hours. will you be able to still plug it in a socket and run on electricity? i do hope so. - arnimation Sat, 02 Aug 2008 09:05:32 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/biofuels/1908#comment-16787 The DOT has already approved fuel cells on airplanes, The TSA has nothing to do with it. http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/?ndmViewId=news_view&news Id=20080430006337&newsLang=en - revan Thu, 24 Jul 2008 08:52:09 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/biofuels/1908#comment-16779 Yeah, 'cos the TSA is just jumping for joy at the prospect of business travelers carrying little vials of flammable liquids in their hand luggage. Any why do this on a Thinkpad T40? Why not on one of the newer Intel Atom based laptops, with an LED backlit screen. Using it on a T40 is kinda like making a hybrid hummer - if you want to really get fuel efficiency you have to start out with something efficient. - Virgil Thu, 24 Jul 2008 06:54:05 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/biofuels/1908#comment-16761 That does sound great, my 8 year old laptops battery only lasts 35minutes before it dies out. This looks like a way better alternative - Marketing Beginners Resources Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:59:36 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/biofuels/1908#comment-16760 wow that is cool, im going to keep an eye on this one, sounds like it will be a real hit once they get the batter around 10x. thanks juzten Daily Free Software - juzten Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:41:57 +0100
