SYMW - SymPowerco Corporation CEO John Davenport announces benchmark performance and operational details of SymPowerco Corporation's unique Flowing Electrolyte Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (FE DMFC).
The company's operational 5 Watt (5W) FE DMFC, located in the laboratories of SymPowerco's development partner, Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, proves the viability of the Flowing Electrolyte principle by demonstrating a 30% improvement in output of the fuel cell stack compared to previous designs. The stack generates up to 5 Watts of power with all cells in the stack converging towards essentially identical performance.
The 5W stack demonstrates that the flowing electrolyte design effectively eliminates inefficiencies caused by methanol crossover, a performance-limiting factor found in other DMFC designs. The 5W stack also demonstrates a viable method of removing methanol from the recirculated electrolyte, a method that indicates the potential for several additional operational and performance benefits in future commercial designs.
The 5W stack has provided SymPowerco and its partners with design criteria and performance data that are serving as benchmarks in the design of the imminent next phase of our Flowing Electrolyte DMFC development program.
Stated SymPowerco CEO, John Davenport, "We are very pleased with this 5W unit. It's going to continue to provide us with design and performance data, even as we ramp up the many aspects of our fuel cell program. Almost everything we do next will be based on the benchmarks provided by this fuel cell stack and the hybrid power system that it powers."
SymPowerco Corporation develops advanced fuel cell and power delivery systems for the rapidly growing personal transportation and portable power system markets being created by today's energy and environmental challenges.
