Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies from Singapore and the American firm Millennium Cell have co-developed HydroPak, a revolutionary portable fuel cell power system. Smaller than a generator yet more powerful than ordinary batteries, the HydroPak is a reliable power system that exhibits remarkable battery longevity and is environmentally friendly because it uses clean energy.

HydroPak is a fuel cell system that uses hydrogen as fuel. It incorporates a water-activated cartridge system that supplies water to a cartridge to generate hydrogen, and the cartridge can be stored for long periods of time and doesn’t require any maintenance. The rated output of the system is 25W with a maximum output of 50W, and each HydroPak is equipped with one 110V AC power supply and two 5V USB ports.

The power generation capacity per cartridge is 270Wh, and the outer dimension of the unit is 22x21x10cm.The HydroPak system is lightweight and weighs only 2.6kg when loaded with the cartridge and water.

World’s 1st Hydrogen Fuel Cell Jet-Wing UAV

 

April 2007 — An unmanned hydrogen fuel cell powered “jet-like” UAV made history this week as it took to the skies over the hills of Bern, Switzerland. The “Hyfish” astonished its creators as it flawlessly performed vertical climbs, loops and other aerial acrobatics at speeds reaching 200 km/h. The successful maiden flight was the result of one and a half years of cooperative development between the German Air & Space Center (Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luft-und Raumfahrt) and a number of international partners including Smartfish for the plane design, Druckon, Baltico, and Teknizentrum Ainet. A record performance 1kW fuel cell and hydrogen system weighing just 3kg and capable of powering the small jet was supplied by Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies of Singapore: www.horizonfuelcell.com
