New solid hydrogen-on-demand fuel cell from HES Energy Systems flies UAV for record 6 hours

Green Car Congress

Unlike a typical hydrogen fuel cell, the system doesn’t store its fuel as pressurized hydrogen gas, but stores it as a solid chemical material, making it easy for end-users to handle in the field. HES has been able to show that its system can store 7% of its weight as hydrogen with a fuel utilization rate of close to 90%.
