Jadoo Power Awarded General Atomics Contract for Advanced Fuel Canister Design; New Fuel System Can Deliver 10X the Energy Density of Batteries.FOLSOM, Calif. -- Jadoo Power Systems Inc. (Jadoo) www.jadoopower.com, the leading supplier of portable fuel cell power systems, announced today that General Atomics General Atomics is a nuclear physics and defense contractor headquartered in San Diego, California. Among other things, it is the manufacturer of the Predator unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). , Space Power Division has awarded Jadoo a contract to develop an advanced fuel canister for use with hydrogen fuel cells. Using Jadoo's N-Stor intelligent digital fuel interface, the new fuel canister utilizes an advanced chemical hydride hydride Any of a class of compounds in which hydrogen is combined with another element. There are three basic types of hydrides: saline, metallic, and covalent. Saline hydrides, such as sodium hydride (NaH) and calcium hydride (CaH2 derived from ammonia borane Ammonia borane is the chemical compound with the formula H3NBH3. The species is the most fundamental molecular boron-nitrogen compound and has attracted recent attention as a stable storage medium for hydrogen. . Compared to re-chargeable metal hydrides, one-time use chemical hydrides provide higher energy densities at a dramatically reduced weight. The fuel canister will allow consumers to choose which fuel option they prefer, knowing that the interface ensures compatibility with the Jadoo N-Gen fuel cell power unit. The proprietary Jadoo N-Stor interface adds following capabilities to the new fuel canister: --Easy-to-use digital "state-of-fill" indicator --Automatic information transfer between fuel canister and fuel cell for power, data and fluids --Industry standard, tamper-proof safety valve safety valve, device attached to a boiler or other vessel for automatically relieving the pressure of steam before it becomes great enough to cause bursting. design --100% compatibility with all N-Stor enabled fuel cell power units "The N-Stor interface is certainly an important and necessary innovation for the advancement of fuel cell power," said Dr. Tom Lechtenberg, General Atomics Vice President. "With an installed base of fuel cell systems in the market, the time to commercialization of an ammonia borane fuel solution will be cut in half thanks to the N-Stor interface." "Our N-Stor interface is quickly becoming a standard for the industry," said Larry Bawden, President & CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , Jadoo Power. "We are excited to be working with General Atomics to bring yet another advanced fuel option to market for our customers."
