Toshiba holds world record for World´s Smallest DMFC

Toshiba’s highly compact Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) has been certified by the Guinness World Records as the world’s smallest DMFC. The 2006 edition of Guinness World Records will feature this new entry amongst many others. Looks like Toshiba’s small wonder can stand tall among the giants of record breaking feats in the perenially popular compendium that was started originally to end disputes over ‘facts’ in a casual conversation over a pint or two.
