Nanotechnology Enabled Portable Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

NanoDynamics has introduced a new portable solid oxide fuel cell. The Revolution 50 has been designed for a wide range of applications including combat soldier power, battery recharger systems, outdoor safety lighting and advertising, portable refrigeration systems as well as various other applications. The system is microprocessor controlled, offers rapid start-up times without external power and has internal reforming capabilities. A cut-away view of the system is show below, incorporating a standard propane cylinder.

"For the past two years, the company has been working to create a powerful combination of nanomaterials and novel cell design to demonstrate the power of nanotechnology. The resulting fuel cell system is lightweight, portable, compact and can be operated using conventional hydrocarbon fuels, such as propane. The selective use of advanced nanotechnology and nanomaterials results in state-of-the-art power density and specific power output," said David Bothwell, Director of NanoDynamic ND Energy.
