Ewww....

Lemme guess, the output of the fuel cell depends on the electrolyte composition of the input?
If you need more range, you've got to eat more chips and salsa to make a call?

Let me know when they make one big enough to run a car.
I can't wait to see how they fill that.

That cell is large. Of course, you could probably use the byproducts to sharpen your mill files.

I think a cheap solar charger might be more practical.
