Fuel cells

 

Good find Ozzie,

 

There is a company in Europe that has been working on a fuel cell that runs on LPG. Much larger than the unit you showed that can run a camping fridge.

 

They have been talking about a release date for a couple of years now, but they did have a unit at one of the major European camping and motorhome shows this year.

 

The idea is to ultimately replace generators. Unfortunately can't remember the company name, but if you googled LPG fuel cell I am sure you would find something.

 

Its good to see this type of technology filtering down to the consumer markets.

 

I have an interest in this sort of thing (not financial) as we have run our house completely on solar power for the last 22-23 years. Can run everything in the workshop except the welder.

 

Cheers,

 

Ding.

Mmm Intersting. I'm always interested to see this sort of stuff, but in this case, using AC power to generate the hydrogen so you can charge the battery... Why not just charge the battery?

 

As you can get an "Auto Charger", read 12V car charger for many phones, why not just plug it into the aircraft?

Bigger Gas Powered Fuel Cell

 

A friend told me about this product and I had been meaning to look it up. I have no opinion as yet, but it is interesting and can supposedly be used in a co-generation mode, as well as supplying heat and water..
