Micro Fuel Cell Overview - MTI Micro
MTI Micro has a targeted market entry date of 2004 for its first product, and is developing proprietary direct methanol micro fuel cell (DMFC) power systems with a design-for-manufacturability and miniaturization approach. MTI Micro continues to make progress towards this target, most recently in repeated laboratory tests, where the Company is demonstrating the operation of its DMFC technology platform on 100% methanol fuel. These tests are resulting in 0.9 watt hours of energy per cubic centimeters (cc) of fuel. Proving that our technology platform can extract from methanol more than three times the energy of most current lithium ion batteries is an important step in developing full systems capable of performance exceeding the best batteries.
MTI Micro's first demonstration prototype powers a Nokia 3650 camera phone. This prototype produces a power output of approximately 500 milliwatts with a peak power output of 3 watts, and an energy content of 10 watt hours -- more than three times that of its current lithium ion battery.
MTI Micro's second prototype powers a Harris Corporation Falcon II® tactical radio. This early stage DMFC system power pack prototype is being developed with Harris for future military applications.
