Where's My Micro Fuel Cell?

Where's My Micro Fuel Cell? 05/27/2004 09:34 AM
Fuel Cell companies have been promising commercially available micro fuel cells for years. Robot builders have been anxiously awaiting them as an alternative to short-lived, expensive batteries. So where are they? According to a new smalltimes article, they've been plagued with performance and cost problems. Two companies claim they're getting close and, (suprise) are promising commercially available micro fuel cells shortly. Medis Technologies, Ltd claims they'll ship a micro fuel cell aimed at cell phones and digital cameras by the end of this year. The downside to the Medis cell is its use of a proprietary glycerol fuel instead of hydrogen or methanol. MTI Micro claims they'll ship a more conventional methanol fuel cell this year but for the industrial RFID reader market rather than consumer devices. Lack of pricing information has some analysts concerned cost may still be an issue and that the companies are rushing a product to market just to prove they can do so before their funding runs out.

Fuel Cell Generator

Fuel Cell Generator 01/01/2004 02:39 PM
Spotted on Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools:

This generator provides 1,000 watts of 120 volts AC with no noise and no emissions, so that it can be used indoors. It uses Ballard's fuel cell technology for this silence and cleanliness. You need either tanks of industrial hydrogen or commercial metal hydride canisters to power it. Might be useful for mission critical power in clean rooms, medical operations, or in places where quiet is also essential.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Review

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Review 06/22/2005 01:56 AM

Hydrogen prototype A-Class is a total gas: James Healey gives a good review to a prototype hydrogen fuel-celled vehicle. I really want one. I'm not a tree-hugger or anything, but these cars speak to me.

The remarkable thing, though, is that the test car seemed so real, so much like a car you could — should? — be able to buy today, even though it was a prototype, one of 19 in the USA so the automaker can roll up real-world miles. [...]

So there are two aspects on which to comment.

Fuel cells: Promising. As a popular comedian would say, "Get 'er done."

A-Class: Magnificent small car. Can we please have it here, regardless of how it's powered?

Fuel-cell/space-race

Fuel-cell/space-race 03/14/2003 01:08 PM
This month's Wired has an amazing story on the potential future of fuel-cells, comparing the drive to wean America off of the gas-teat to the Cold-War-driven space race of the Kennedy era.

Like the car companies, oil producers have already taken steps toward an oil-free future. Over the past 15 years, corporations like Shell and Exxon have ceded their leadership in oil production to a dozen state-owned enterprises in countries such as Venezuela, Brazil, and Norway. Instead they've focused on adding value farther down the supply chain by refining crude into gasoline and distributing and selling it through filling stations. They know they could play the same role in a hydrogen economy, which is why Shell and BP have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in hydrogen storage and production technology. Indeed, BP, formerly British Petroleum, has rebranded itself Beyond Petroleum.

The major oil companies are already extracting hydrogen from gasoline for industrial uses at nine refinery complexes throughout the United States. With a little push, these plants could serve as hubs for a nascent hydrogen-distribution network.

Converting filling stations is bound to cost billions of dollars over several decades. But it should cost relatively little to retrofit clusters of stations in proximity to both a hydrogen-producing refinery and a population center where fuel cell vehicles are sold. Oil companies could meet initial demand by trucking hydrogen from refineries to these stations. As the number of fuel cell vehicles on the road rises, stations that aren't served by refinery hubs could install processors, called reformers, that use electricity to extract hydrogen from gasoline or water. The White House should ask for $5 billion - roughly $30,000 for each of the nation's 176,000 filling stations - to get the ball rolling.

Alcohol Fuel Cell Goes Micro

Alcohol Fuel Cell Goes Micro 12/19/2004 03:41 PM
There’s a lot of energy in ethanol, which is non-toxic and can be made cheaply from corn. Researchers from Saint Louis University, who earlier this year developed a fuel cell using enzymes to generate electricity from ethanol, have built a microchip-based version of the device. The trick to constructing the biofuel cell was creating a sheltered environment for the enzymes, which are fairly sensitive. The researchers coated the carbon anode, or positive electrode, of the…

< img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/images/PRES050411d.jpg" alt="PRES050411d.jpg image" width="200" height="147" class="border right"/>IBM Japan and Sanyo are teaming up to bring a real fuel cell system to notebook PCs in the near future. Sanyo has already developed a hybrid battery system with both standard lithium ion battery and fuel cell which can be used on existing ThinkPad models. Said system uses a 130cc cartridge, leading to about 8 hours of battery life. The best part, though, is hot-swapping fuel cell cartridges for uninterrupted mobile computing. The worst part? It weighs 2.2kg (nearly 5 pounds).

MATT GALLANT-- Continuing the parade of things that you can't actually get yet: As they say: "Small, cheap, and good: pick two."

But no! Or so says the University of Houston, who have claimed to developed a small, cheap, and good fuel cell using thin film solid oxides.

Small: a fuel cell with the volume of four sugar cubes can power a laptop computer; one the size of two soda cans can power a house.

Cheap: does not use the ultra-pure and exotic materials of standard fuel cells.

Good: thin film solid oxides have a 60-70% efficiency, and run at half the temperature of normal solid oxide fuel cells, at a mere 450 to 500 degrees Celsius.

Wow! I can't wait to put a tiny 500°C battery in my lap.
