Research abstract
This project addresses the Army's needs for a compact power source. The system design is based on state-of-the-art high CO tolerant solid acid fuel cells (SAFCs) operating at 250 degrees C and a thermally matched methanol reformer creating a 20 Wnet lightweight, rugged, efficient unit capable of running for 72 hours with an energy density of about 1 kWh/kg.
