Coca-Cola is changing forever – it is moving into the 22nd century with these new portable vending machines that run not on electricity but on a futuristic fuel
How does this Coca-Cola machine work?
If we’ve already seen that hydrogen is becoming the present and future of four-wheeled vehicles, why couldn’t it be for a beverage vending machine? Well, this invention comes from Fuji Electric, a Chinese company, and it will incorporate a fuel cell that uses replaceable hydrogen cartridges, but of course, where are they inserted? In the machine’s module, where oxygen will mix with this hydrogen to generate energy.
In other words, an electrochemical process will be triggered that will generate electrical current, which will allow the vending machine to operate. Incredible, right?
And is it not polluting?
That’s the best part of hydrogen, as we’ve seen with some cars, these hydrogen cartridges do not pollute because in this chemical process, what is generated is water vapor, not CO2 as can happen in other combustion processes, so this would be a truly clean alternative that could compete with traditional options.
Autonomy
Perhaps the most innovative aspect of this invention is that the electricity generated by this device is stored in a battery integrated into the machine itself, eliminating the need for plugs, cables, or external generators, that’s right, not a single cable in sight!!
