ECOtality’s Hydratus is a solution to many of the problems facing the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell technologies. The system produces hydrogen on demand by using magnesium and water without emitting anything other than pure water.
Prestigious research associations have joined the company in its development such as Arizona State University, Department of Chemical Engineering, National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Task Force, GreenMountain Engineering and Airboss Aerospace.
While hydrogen fuel cells and electric motors are reliable and readily available, no one has been able to create a compact device that can produce hydrogen on the go. The Hydratus is the only solution to this problem, and would make hydrogen fuel cell technologies a viable way to power buses, trains, cars and other energy demanding applications.
