THE SONNETEER NEWS

Not happy with the original Morpheus remote with Lithium-Polymer battery that  only requires topping up once a year, the brainiacs at Sonneteer have now gone even further with their generation 2 remote, which requires topping up, as an average, 4 times a year… Hmmm… but isn’t that 4 times more energy required? Well if you look at the picture of the prototype carefully you will notice that Sonneteer have taken the true meaning of “topping up” as the generation 2 remote only requires topping up with water… hence the name H2 Remote.

Unlike some previous attempts of using water to power electronics by means of electrolysis, the new Sonneteer Morpheus remote uses a nano hydrogen fuel cell made only possible in colaboration with Precision Micro Limited, UK’s leading electro-chemical etching specialist in fuel cell hardware. The new fuel cell mesh is now at molecular level producing previously unattainable efficiency from only 1ml of water.

Although only in prototype form, enginneers at Sonneteer believes the remote will hopefully be in production just before summer, in time for the water hose ban UK suffers regularly between July and September. Even if you are out of water, the remote can be powered with other forms of liquid such as sweat or tears, so play that emotional love song and get recharged!

Retail prices are not yet confirmed but from early indication the remote will be avaiable as an option at £1350- including a 99ml bottle of de-ionised water (enough to refill the remote for about 25 years) and just small enough to carry onboard a plane under the current aviation laws.

For hotter countries a slighty longer version will be available with extra water carrying capacity, code named the “Camote”.
