A Self Regulating Hydrogen Fueled Monopolar Fuel Cell/Li-ion Hybrid Power Source for the Objective Force Warrior

Lynntech will develop a hydrogen fueled PEM fuel cell, Li-ion hybridpower system, utilizing Lynntech's patented monopolar fuel cell technology.In parallel with component (e.g. hydride storage, fans) evaluations, powercontrol schemes will also be tested using real hardware, not simulations, toevaluate designs based on their efficiency, robustness, and cost. Based onthe component and power control evaluations, a bread board system will bebuilt, verifying the system architecture for the prototype systems to befurther developed and tested during the Phase I option and built in PhaseII. With ever increasing power demands from portable electronics and aswireless technology is implemented with higher and higher bandwidthrequirements, longer lasting power supplies with higher power output areneeded. There is considerable interest in Lynntech's monopolar fuel celltechnology and hybrid power technology to supply higher energy and powerdensity than currently available batteries, while keeping costs down.
