Portable (10W to 3 kW)

Customers:
 
US Special Forces
Tank & Armaments Command (Silent Watch applications)
Homeland Security (Emergency Preparedness/First Responders)
Commercial remote
Electronic newsgathering
Drivers:
 
Silent, lightweight power source, rapid recharge, easy to use
Long shelf life standalone power, non-toxic
Off-grid power where required
HPI Technology: CRU, CBU lab demonstrator systems
 
Cartridge size tailorable to specific needs (10g-3kg)
— 10g = 10W for 70 minutes
— 3kg = 1kW for 220 minutes
System operates with any available water source
Simultaneous hot water co-generation if desired
 

MHE/Utility Vehicles (4-14 kW)

Customers:
 
Large retail stores with 1-3 forklifts on site
Small warehouses
Drivers:
 
Low cost
Pure hydrogen on-site
Potential for waste recycle
Non-toxic
HPI Technology:
 
Upscaled CBU-high pressure system on-site
Uprated CRU-low pressure system on-board
 

MHE/Utility Vehicles

High pressure CBU system
 
H2generated at 6,250 psi, stored in on-site receiver
High pressure 5,000 psi storage tank on vehicle
Potentially expensive
Low pressure CRU/CBU system
 
Digitized on-board system (lower potential energy, safer)
H2generated at < 300 psi
Small buffer tank on vehicle
Potentially lower cost

UUVs & Torpedoes

Existing technologies:
 
Various advanced batteries, advanced diesel hybrids
Complex powder flow aluminum-steam combustor systems
HPI technology:
 
CBU, delivers steam from fixed cartridges
Customers:
 
DARPA; US Navy; Foreign Governments
Commercial
Drivers:
 
Longer range/extended operating time
Simplicity/reliability
Safety; non-toxic materials; rapid recharge
Reduced mission costs (power unit cap-ex/op-ex; storage; disposal)
 

UUVs & Torpedoes Capabilites

*Projected CBU-8 or CBU-12 is cheaper, has fewer components and has no disposal issues compared to present powder-based Aluminum Combustor

Hamilton Sundstrand (HSC) Partnership

$5B subsidiary of $50B United Technologies
HPI Plant visit/demo July 24, 2007
