Heat, lack of easy access to water and overwhelmed cell-phone networks led to streams of complaints across the Internet.
In both cases, he used the heavy-water method to monitor cell division.
The only emissions from the fuel cell itself are water and waste heat, which can be captured and put to use.
Americans are forced to go months without power, without water systems, without television or cell phones or other forms of communication.
Not knowing why he was being kept in the cell without food, water or a toilet for so long confused him, Iredale said.
By 2020 or so, depending on the progress of fuel cell technology, the last of the island's 9, 500 gasoline cars will be gone and only water-vapor-emitting fuel cell autos will remain, according to Taniguchi's plan.
Advanced satellite tracking technologies allow "open road" tolling, in which motorists would be charged per mile of road used -- just as consumers are charged per kilowatt hour for electricity, per gallon of water, or per minute of cell phone use -- without the backup at the toll booth.
It is proposed that the cell might be used in applications which require relatively low power consumption, for example sensors of various kinds or emergency signaling units, and that the devices might be used best in desert or warm coastal regions where the water is readily evaporated from the cell, thus maintaining its concentration gradient.
It can be used to run an internal combustion engine in a car or power one using a fuel cell, with heat and water as the only emissions.
ECONOMIST: Chicken feathers could provide a high-capacity store
To use that excess electricity (obviously, only excess when the wind is blowing just right, or the Sun shining) to electrolyse water by passing it through a fuel cell and then store the resultant hydrogen.
FORBES: Apple Wrongfoots Greenpeace over Renewable Power for the iCloud
Los Angeles (CNN) -- A San Diego college student filed a legal claim Wednesday for damages suffered when he was left handcuffed and without food or water in a Drug Enforcement Administration holding cell for five days last month.
He said that the policemen had splashed soapy water on the floor and walls of the cell, as they usually did, and that the old man, who had not bathed in a week, had yanked his shirt off and rubbed his frail back against the wet floor.
Researchers at the Oregon State University have developed a new kind of microbial fuel cell that produces electricity as it cleans water.
FORBES: Better Than A Kite In A Thunderstorm: The New Science Of Generating Zap From Trash
Furukawa Battery, the Tokyo-based supplier of power systems , is commercializing a magnesium fuel cell technology that generates electricity using salt water as an electrolyte.
As the aircraft descended from its cruise altitude of 17, 000 feet (5, 200 m) to 14, 000 feet (4, 300 m) near Rome VOR, it apparently entered a thunderstorm cell and encountered a massive amount of water and hail.
FORBES: Could You Land A Large Plane On An Interstate Highway?
But unlike the U.S., you can travel 30 minutes outside of the city and meet a herder who has never seen the city, has no electricity, no access to safe drinking water, and although he might have a basic cell phone, has never been on the Internet.
More reliability would have come from water-proof substations, building-centric Bloom fuel-cell power and local micro-grids.
FORBES: New York, Black Swans, Blackouts and Anti-Fragile Grids
You know, they took everything out of my cell, and all I had left was toilet water.
If you have to be out, be prepared with a charged cell phone, an emergency kit with food, water, blankets, flares and a shovel.
Outside the cell block, you will notice faint graffiti on the water tower that reads "This is Indian Land".
Did you know that more people in the world have cell phones than access to a toilet, according to water.org?
Larry Moulthroup of Proton Energy Systems in Connecticut, which lent me my fuel-cell Toyota Highlander, offers some thoughts on how the water car might work.
Acting as a lens, the rig's large water-filled orb concentrates diffused daylight or moonlight onto a solar cell with the help of optical tracking to harvest electricity.
Those in the cell who could afford to buy old plastic paint cans of water bathed every other morning.
Police suspect that cell phone carriers, an importer of Volvos and a mineral water supplier, among others, spied on the competition.
Fuel cell electric vehicles generate their power from hydrogen and oxygen, and emit only water.
BBC: Nissan FCEV on display at a car show in Brussels in January
In the simplest terms, a fuel cell combines hydrogen and oxygen in a process that releases electricity, heat and water.
Also a type of electric vehicle, a fuel-cell car takes hydrogen gas and converts it into electricity, while emitting only water vapor.
CNN: Hydrogen fuel-cell cars look to overtake electric autos
At the cathode, the protons and the electrons react with oxygen from the air to make water which, to the joy of environmentalists, is the only waste product of such a cell.
