60 WATT HYDRIDE-AIR FUEL CELL SYSTEM

A fuel cell power system delivering 60 watts of regulated 28 VDC power is described. The system operates on hydrogen fuel derived from solid pellets of sodium aluminum hydride and air. The system consists of three basic subsystems, a Kipp Generator, fuel cell stack and power conditioner. It is fully automatic and is designed to operate military communications equipment or charge secondary batteries in the field. A single four ounce fuel charge operates the unit for 4 hours. /GMRL/
