    Swedish developers at myFC have created the world's smallest fuel cell
    Fuel cell called 'JAQ' uses just water and salt to power the portable charger
    JAQ can be preordered for a two year payment of about $5.00 per month

    The company writes that this is equal to a typical smartphone charge.

    'Mobile accessibility is critical for everyone and the demand for charging solutions for mobile phones, tablets, and cameras is increasing,' said Björn Westerholm, CEO of myFC AB, earlier this year.

    'The dramatic reduction of the size of both the fuel and charger allows for the charger to be slimmer, so as to nicely fit inside a jacket pocket, for example. This truly makes energy available whenever you need it.'

    The cell is completely portable, and was developed with 'on-the-go-living' in mind, meaning that it is travel certified and complies with international airplane regulations.

    HOW A FUEL CELL WORKS
    Fuel cells come in several different forms, but all of them generate energy without creating pollution, according to myFC.
    These cells convert hydrogen to electricity, meaning that water would be the only by-product once combined with oxygen.
    Unlike batteries, which store energy, fuel cells actively produce energy through electrochemical conversion.
    These devices use an external supply of fuel, myFC writes, which in this case would be salt and water, along with an oxidant, oxygen or air.
    In these products, the devices use a proton exchange membrane (PEM) as an electrolyte, which carries electrically charged ions between electrodes.
    They also use a catalyst to speed up the reactions.
    Oxygen combines with the returning electrons and hydrogen ions, and water is formed.
