NanoDynamics Energy receives 1.78 million contract from the Office of Naval Research to develop SOFC Systems for unmanned aerial vehicles

摘要

According to NanoDynamics Energy vice president of fuel cells Dr. Caine Finnerty, the company has received a one-year, 1.78 million grant from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to develop an innovative solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system that will be used as a main power source for tactical unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Finnerty says, "The grant will immediately fund the working partnership between NanoDynamics Energy and ONR in developing a flight-weight system with a 300-watt power supply for the propulsion of the UAV, as well as the operation of its ancillary sensors and communication systems."
