苹果电脑：计划用液态合金制造电池

伤我心太深

苹果已经拿到了他的第一个涉及液态合金的专利，液态合金是一种有着超强可塑性的未来派金属。但是这份专利并不是描述苹果将用液态合金来制造iPhone 和iPad 的外壳，而是燃料电池的一种内部组件。

为什么苹果会将液态合金──一种耐磨、质轻而又有着很强延展能力的金属用在手机的内部？因为在这份专利中，液态合金似乎并不是主要吸引人的东西，而是燃料电池。

微型燃料电池可以维持供能相当长的时间（在手机中可以30 天不充电）但是目前人们还没有找出如何有效生产燃料电池的方法。而如果哪个公司找到了方法，结果估计是推出市场上最长效的电池。或许将液态合金作为某种添加就是苹果找到的答案。

Apple Is Using Liquidmetal forFuel Cells?Apple has been granted its first patent related to Liquidmetal, that futuristic metal with awesome plastic qualities. But the patent says that Apple won't be using Liquidmetal in iPhone and iPad casing, but rather as an internal component for fuel cells.

Why would Apple bother using Liquidmetal, a scratchproof, lightweight and superstrength material, on the inside of the phone? Because in this particular patent, it looks like Liquidmetal isn't the main attraction, fuel cells are.

Miniature fuel cells can last a helluva long time (30 days without recharging on a phone) but no one has quite figured out how to effectively build 'em. And the company that does, will probably end up with the longest lasting battery on the market. Maybe Liquidmetal, which would act as some sort of housing, is part of Apple's answer.
