  • Publication number: 20080160383
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel cell module with a thermal feedback mechanism. The fuel cell module includes a hydrogen storage container, a fuel cell body and a housing. The hydrogen storage container has a tank, a valve, and hydrogen storage alloy. The fuel cell body is integrated with the hydrogen storage container, such that the electricity-generating part of the fuel cell body faces the hydrogen storage container. Furthermore, heat generated from the electrochemical reaction can be fed back to the hydrogen storage container. This heat could increase the temperature of the hydrogen storage container, leading to a more stable discharge reaction and subsequently improving the performance of the fuel cell.

  • Publication number: 20080044707
    Abstract: The present invention is a flexible fuel cell, which overcomes the shortcomings of a conventional fuel cell made of solid materials. The flexible fuel cell includes a battery pack of fuel cell units with a preset amount and configuration of fuel cell units, and a flexible locator. The flexible locator is made of flexible materials to ensure the ability to maintain gas-tight seals. Because of the ability to maintain good gas-tight seals and to have stronger resistance to heat and corrosion, the fuel cell of the present invention offers advantages of light weight, gas-tight sealing, and shock resistance.

  • Publication number: 20080044717
    Abstract: The present invention provides a portable power supply device with a fuel cell. The device includes a main body with predefined internal and exterior parts. A fuel cell stack is mounted onto a predefined location of the main body. A fuel supplier is mounted at a preset location of the main body. A control switch is mounted at a predefined location of main body for switching the fuel cell stack on and off. A transformer system is used to convert DC of the fuel cell stack into AC. At least one AC socket is mounted onto a preset location of the main body. The portable power supply device of the present invention offers a longer lasting power supply via a fuel cell stack. The portable power supply device is an environment-friendly and weather-proof power generating system for currently used electronics.
