| Project Detail |
Precision Combustion is developing a unique hybrid fuel-cell battery system. The approach features an electrochemical wafer that uses liquid hydrogen as fuel to generate energy coupled with a high-power lithium-ion battery to enable peak-power operation. The progressive energy storage system hybridizes a highly efficient advanced electrochemical device and a small rechargeable battery and pairs them with a high-energy-density carbon-free fuel. The process intensified architecture has the potential to deliver significantly more power density than other systems in development.
Market Impact Potential:
Precision Combustion’s design would address the electrification of aviation, shipping, and rail. Additional applications for the proposed technology include defense vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles or unmanned ground vehicles, space applications, and other aerospace needs. The U.S. Army’s Ground Vehicle Systems Command will provide feedback, validation, and opportunity for testing in tactical vehicles during the system’s design. |
