Aquafairy Corporation has remarkably improved the fuel cell charger for mobile devices, and completes its mass production technology and the building of a mass production line, which is capable of producing 250,000 units/month.
The weight of the fuel cell charger developed this time is almost the half of that of the previous one.
The manufacturing cost of the fuel cell charger is almost equal to that of the currently used charger.
The weight of the fuel cell charger is 1/10 or lower of that of the alkaline dry cell, but is capable of supplying electric power equal to that of the alkaline dry cell.
The company has a plan to start shipping of samples of the new fuel cell chargers on April, 2009, and to really commercialize the chargers till April of 2010.
The fuel cell charger receives hydrogen directly from a hydrogen generator cassette, which is attached to the fuel cell.
The hydrogen generator cassette, based on the Aquafairy's propriety technology, contains the metal hydrogen generating agent and water. Hydrogen is generated by adding water to the hydrogen generating agent.
A fuel cell, which uses Al (aluminum) particles and generates hydrogen through the reaction of Al with water, is being developed by Hitachi Maxell and Muroran Institute of Technology. The Hitachi Maxell exhibited the improved fuel cell of this type in CEATEC JAPAN 2008.
Fuel cell charger’ws specification is outlined below.
Output power - 3 watts
power generation capacity - 5 Wh
Weight - about 20 grams
Size - 55 mm deep x 40 mm wide x 9 mm high
Volume = 20 cm3
