Sustainable energy, battery products & Fuel Cell production companies with recent achievements of importance in the market today: Neah Power Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: NPWZ) (OTC: NPWZ), FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL), Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), Energizer Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ENR) and Axion Power International, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXPW)
Neah Power Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: NPWZ) (OTC: NPWZ) - today issued the following letter to shareholders: Neah Power is enthused about the ongoing capitalization and commercialization activities at the Company and the opportunity to share these developments with you. For recent followers of the Company, we want to highlight our key products. We have the PowerChip® anaerobic (non-air) fuel cell, most recently accepted by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) of the Government of India. We also have the Formira Hydrogen on Demand (Formira HOD), the most energy dense solution for the generation of hydrogen from a safe liquid source. The BuzzBar Suite is an off-grid charging solution for consumer and commercial applications. We shipped our BuzzBar Gen2 product, and have a Gen3 design that will ship once we close the next round of financing. Finally, we have the PowerChip® Battery under development that has shown industry leading performance. All of our products and technologies are covered by 14 patents, 12 pending patent applications and various trade secrets and know how.
Fuel cell usage of H2 The reformer system is designed to provide a sufficient amount of hydrogen to a fuel cell system that uses hydrogen gas as a fuel. For example, considering a 5W electrical power output, the consumption of hydrogen by a fuel cell is described as follows: where ?!!is the hydrogen consumption in mol/min, P is fuel cell power, and V is fuel cell voltage. Assuming a 50% electrical efficiency for a PEM stack gives 0.6V, the hydrogen requirement is calculated to be 0.00259mol/min, or 58.1 sccm (standard cubic centimeters per minute - volumetric flow rate calculated at 1 atmosphere pressure and 0°C). It should be noted, however that this is the exact stoichiometric fuel requirement; that is, fuel utilization is 100 % in this calculation. Under more realistic conditions, a fuel stoichiometry of 1.1 or greater is typically used. System design guidelines and initial product deployment Neah is in preliminary discussions with other fuel cell companies to license the reformer technology for certain grid scale applications. Neah is also actively exploring partnerships with automobile manufacturers to implement this technology for point source of hydrogen generation for automotive fuel cells. In parallel, Neah is developing stand-alone systems for back-up power for a variety of applications as well as integrated solutions for a variety of remote monitoring systems. The table below demonstrates the capability of the reformer technology, and can be used as a guideline for design purposes.
