US Patent:

7241523, Jul 10, 2007

Filed:

Dec 24, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/328709

Inventors:

Muralidharan P. Arikara - Folsom CA, US
Kenneth E. Pearson - Shingle Springs CA, US
Glenn M. Dunn - Fair Oaks CA, US

Assignee:

Jadoo Power Systems, Inc. - Folsom CA

International Classification:

H01M 8/04

US Classification:

429 25, 429 32, 429 12, 429 13

Abstract:

A portable electricity generation device comprises a plurality of fuel cells, each fuel cell having an anode end with a catalyst facilitating the separation of hydrogen atoms into electrons and protons, a cathode end facilitating the combination of the electrons and protons into water molecules in the presence of oxygen, and a current bearing portion providing a current path for the electrons to traverse. The electricity generation device also includes a fuel storage container for storing a supply of hydrogen and delivering the supply of hydrogen to an anode end of the plurality of fuel cells so as to initiate a flow of the electrons through the current bearing portion. In addition, the portable electricity generation device includes an air moving device configured to direct atmospheric air toward a cathode end of the plurality of fuel cells, wherein the air moving device is positioned to convectively cool the plurality of fuel cells as it supplies atmospheric air to the cathode end.
