NanoDynamics Intros Nanotechnology-Enabled SOFC

NanoDynamics Inc. (Buffalo, NY), a nanotechnology organization and manufacturer of nanomaterials, announced that the company introduced its new portable solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) at the 2004 Fuel Cell Seminar Exhibition in San Antonio, TX.

The Revolution™ 50 was designed for a wide range of applications, including combat soldier power, battery recharger systems, outdoor safety lighting and advertising, portable refrigeration systems, as well as various other applications. The system is microprocessor-controlled, offers rapid start-up times without external power and has internal reforming capabilities.

"We are very excited to have introduced the Revolution 50 at this conference," commented David Bothwell, director of NanoDynamics' ND Energy. "For the past two years, the company has been working to create a powerful combination of nanomaterials and novel cell design to demonstrate the power of nanotechnology. The resulting fuel cell system is lightweight, portable, compact and can be operated using conventional hydrocarbon fuels, such as propane. The selective use of advanced nanotechnology and nanomaterials results in state-of-the-art power density and specific power output. It was clear from the reaction we received that the market is ready for a product with these novel performance and fueling features."
