Medis Technologies Ltd. (New York) announced that its refuelable fuel cell Power Packs, developed to power an Itronix Corp. tablet (GoBook™) under a contract with General Dynamics with funding from the US Air Force, performed successfully in meeting the specified test criteria. The Power Pack produces 8 W at 5.0 V output, and when depleted of its fuel can be refueled by a fuel cartridge in a matter of seconds.
"This fuel cell power pack, which we developed for use with the Itronix GoBook funded by the Air Force, demonstrates the breadth of our technology to deliver much greater power -- more than six times the watts -- than our disposable power pack for cell phones and other portable devices," said Medis Technologies Chairman and CEO Robert Lifton. "It also demonstrates our ability to produce a refuelable fuel cell using a refueling cartridge as compared with our disposable product."
