Folded Paper Fuel Cells

The Trans X Battery Fits Different Gadgets With its Recycled Card Casing

Consider that batteries have a nominal electromotive force of 1.5 Volts, and how frustrating it is when you just don't have the correct one to match the necessary device. The Trans X Battery has been designed as a one size fits all fuel cell that so that you don't have to keep buying an assortment.

Chen Yi-Ying and Chen Yi-An began with a base model of a AAA battery that you would use in every single gadget. It takes the usual cylindrical form with the standard positive and negative ends, and it's rechargeable for convenient and eco-friendly purposes.

Where the concept gets x-citing is in the bifold recycled paper jacket. The Trans X Battery comes in different sizes to fill out a range of fuel cell compartments. It's complete with conductive copper tips.
