Swift Fuel Cell

The Swift fuel cell stack is currently at a peak power density of 15 mW/cm2. The cell voltage is about 0.6V, which has doubled in the last six months. We believe we can achieve a maximum power output of 60 mW/cm2 and an efficiency of greater than 75%. The current cost of the MEA is approximately 10 cents per cm2 due predominately to the separator cost. At some point in the future we hope to lower this price with our own manufactured membrane or see a decrease in price when the current commercial membrane loses its patent. We are also working toward being able to mass produce these fuel cells. This includes the advancement of a process to make a thinner, more flexible substrate for electrodes. Our development to make the Swift fuel cell higher power and more efficient continues, and in parallel we are investigating technology for larger scale production capabilities.
