Funny thing is, I never paid much attention to the Fuel cell until a few months ago when the patent was issued. Then one day while talking to MVTG I got some clarity on the fuel cell, and I went back and re-read the patent. Then I looked at WIKI on fuel cells and discovered the MVTG fuel cell is so revolutionary, that it is not even listed as a fuel cell type (yet) in WIKI!!!

It is different in that it does not need a polymer membrane (which the others need, and the polymer membranes have drawbacks), and it is different in that the gas (air or O2) and fuel (liquid formic acid) can be mixed first and then feed to the fuel cell as a two phase mixture, gas and liquid, unlike all the others where the fuel and oxidizer are fed separately and need expensive controls to control the flow rates of the two reactants.

It will have a low production cost compared to the other known designs (automotive will love that), and will operate at low temperatures, so no cooling is needed (which adds to the cost and design complexity) and no long warm up time and cool down time is needed which is a huge issue with other designs for transportation vehicles!!!
