So far most of the research on fuel cells has been on those that use hydrogen or methanol...without much success as yet. They are still far too expensive to market, and hydrogen presents far too many logistical problems to be feasible.
On reading this article however, it occured to me that the most obvious fuel cell has been ignored...the human body! The body runs on liquid fuel - glucose, and very efficiently.
Now researchers at Saint Louis University have developed their own version of the same process that produces electricity...several times as much as a comparable lithium ion battery.
