Seeking Collaborative Partnerships to Develop our SOFC Technology for Auxiliary Power Applications

With rising fuel prices it is important to reduce the impact the electrical load of a vehicle has on the fuel consumption. In marine and leisure applications there are other environmental considerations, such as noise and pollution, that affect when auxiliary power units can be used. New and impending legislation for trucks and ancillaries, will prevent them from leaving the engine on idol when stationary and there are also restrictions due to noise fro delivery times in inner-city areas. NanoDynamics Energy’s fuel cell technology provides a more efficient means of providing auxiliary power with a considerably lower environmental impact, whilst still using readily available fuels.

Applications

• Marine – Luxury Yachts
• Battery charging
• Emergency Vehicles 
• Recreational Vehicles
• Truck/Lorry Manufacturers
• Fleet Vehicle Manufacturers

Technological Advantages:

• Environmental
• Low noise
• No Particulate Emissions
• No NOx or SOx
• Lower carbon footprint due to increased fuel efficiency
• Performance
• Potential for various Fuel options – Propane, Ethanol, Hydrogen, Kerosene, Diesel / JP8, etc.
• High efficiency – reduced fuel consumption
• Very Low Vibrations – minimal interference with other onboard systems (e.g. communications)
• High power density resulting in compact and lightweight power

Partner Requirements

We are looking for partners with:

• Existing market penetration in the sales, manufacturer or retrofitting of vehicles 
• High volume manufacturing capability
• Technical expertise in target markets 
• Innovative approach to new product development
• System Integration and product servicing capabilities

About NanoDynamics Energy

NanoDynamics Energy is developing portable solid oxide fuel cell systems that provide long lasting power in less volume and at a lighter weight than conventional battery technology. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) differ from the more common proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells in that SOFCs can operate on hydrocarbon fuels rather than pure hydrogen, thus eliminating the biggest single hurdle to the implementation of fuel cell power - hydrogen generation, delivery, and storage. The SOFC creates electricity through electrochemical reactions and creates only water vapour and carbon dioxide as its by-products. The Revolution® 50 for example, is fueled by propane contained in disposable cylinders available at many retailers including national home improvement centers
