BEST FUEL CELL!!! Mixed Reactant Fuel Cell (MRFC)



Mantra Energy: The Future of Portable Fuel Cell Technology?

http://www.altenergystocks.com/archives/2014/05/mantra_energy_the_future_of_portable_fuel_cell_technology_1.html

When one thinks of fuel cells and fuel cell technology some names immediately come to mind. Ballard Power (BLDP) went public in 1993 and was listed on NASDAQ in 1995. A company that made its debut in 1997 was Plug Power (PLUG), a joint venture between DTE Energy and Mechanical Technology Inc. Hydrogenics (HYGS) is a company that has been around for 60 years, but more recently has gotten investor attention for their fuel cell technology.

Most of the technology produced by well-known fuel cell companies share common features…

They are based on fuel cell technology that requires hydrogen gas or a reformer that makes H2 out of the fossil fuel feed. They use a very expensive, very rare catalyst, Platinum.
Portable fuel cells are based on fuel cell technology that requires a PEM, Proton Exchange polymer Membrane
They have all enjoyed various levels of success, but the existing technology appears to be limited to heavy vehicles (buses / forklifts) and backup power systems for specific applications.
The reality is that most of the existing fuel cell technology has never really reached the level of portability once imagined for fuel cells.

However one new entrant in the fuel cell sector may be capable of regenerating some of the early initial excitement. They have eliminated the Achilles heel, the PEM membrane, the bipolar plates, and the platinum catalyst…

That company is Mantra Energy Alternatives (MVTG) based out of British Columbia.

Recently MVTG has revealed their patented MRFC fuel cell. It is a "membrane-less" and "platinum-free" ultra-low cost fuel cell that appears to be totally unique in the market. As mentioned previously, the PEM membrane, the bi-polar plates, and the precious metals catalyst are among the most expensive and heavy parts of any fuel cell. The PEM Membrane is also one of the degrading components of PEM fuel cells, so the MVTG MRFC fuel cell is expected to have a much longer operating life, because there is no membrane to degrade. MVTG claims to have eliminated about 2/3rds of the cost of a typical PEM style fuel cell.

Will it happen if so when?

One can only wait and see?

And with this lousy weather what else you going to do anyway?

"will the MTVG vehicle be ??"

It will be a huge success and the bane of all MVTG short sellers smile

It will also be a working, high efficiency, low cost, fuel cell powered electric vehicle!!!!
