Yesterday I saw a video on a drone developed by PLUG, which makes a wide variety of fuel cells and hydrogen generating devices, that operates on a fuel cell they developed. The unit had far less payload capacity to our drone. It got me thinking that if the two companies collaborated on a drone, our drone might be adapted to using a fuel cell, rather than a battery, which might have either greater capacity, or perhaps comparable capacity, but nearly instantaneous ability to refill. It was clear, their device can't do nearly what ours can, the only real question in my mind is could we have a fuel cell replace our battery with some benefits.

As I see it, this wouldn't be something we'd want in every case as our drone can currently land and recharge without human intervention, so numerous landing sites can be employed with no human intervention. With hydrogen fuel cells, each refueling would clearly require human intervention, but it could be done very quickly. Both possibilities offer different capabilities. I believe the Epazz unit has sufficient payload capacity that it could carry a fuel cell that might enhance it's capabilities.
