  • Publication number: 20250070198
    Abstract: A hydrogen powered generator includes at least one fuel cell, a power converter that receives a raw power from the at least one fuel cell and outputs a converted power; and a hydrogen storage assembly that supplies hydrogen to the at least one fuel cell. The hydrogen storage assembly comprises a first hydrogen storage unit in fluid communication with the at least one fuel cell and a second hydrogen storage unit in fluid communication with the at least one fuel cell. The first hydrogen storage unit, the second hydrogen storage unit, and the fuel cell can be mounted on a tray that slides out of the generator to facilitate maintenance. The power converter can include one or more blades that can be swapped into the power converter to meet various power conversion needs.

  • Publication number: 20240418325
    Abstract: A hydrogen gas storage unit includes at least two hydrogen gas storage chambers. The hydrogen gas storage unit comprises a cylindrical container having an end anvil at each end of the cylindrical container. The at least two hydrogen gas storage chambers are separated by an intermediate anvil and at least one spacer disk. The intermediate anvil has a channel that permits hydrogen gas to flow between the two hydrogen gas storage chambers. The spacer disk extends radially outward from the intermediate anvil and secures a diaphragm in position within at least one of the hydrogen gas storage chambers. A metal alloy that can store hydrogen gas is located between the outer surface of the diaphragm and the inner surface of the cylindrical container.
