FOLSOM,
Calif.--Jadoo Power Systems Inc. (Jadoo) www.jadoopower.com,
the leading supplier of portable fuel cell systems, announced today it
was honored with an Electronic
Products’ Product of the Year Award for its N-Gen Fuel Cell Power Unit.
The Jadoo N-Gen is an easy to use fuel cell system generating 100W and
12VDC of clean fuel cell energy. Power support is critical when grid power
is either unavailable or unreliable and many applications, including portable
radio and laptop battery recharging, law enforcement surveillance installations,
critical off-grid communications devices like satellite phones, walkie
talkies, modems and network repeaters, can take advantage of the features
of the N-Gen.
Utilizing the company’s patented N-Stor™ Fuel Canisters, the N-Gen power unit has multiple fuel runtime options. For example, using Jadoo’s N-Stor360 can provide 360W-h (30A-h) of predictable continuous runtime. There is no degradation or memory effect as exists with a standard battery. When used with the company’s award winning XRT product, upwards of 2200W-h (180A-h) of runtime and 110VAC support can be achieved.
“Fuel cells show great promise in driving devices off-grid without the environmental, bulk, or weight penalties of batteries and generators, but required design-in for their particular application. The N-Gen Fuel Cell Power Unit is the first prosumer fuel cell system, with industry-standard battery connectors for easy integration into consumer devices,” said Alix Paultre, Executive Editor, Electronic Products Magazine. “These power systems use 130 and 360W-h fuel cartridges with onboard intelligence to provide accurate state-of-fill information for ease of use and predictable operation.”
The editors of Electronic Products, a leading trade publication for electronic design engineers, evaluated thousands of products launched in 2006 on the basis of innovative design, significant advancement in technology or application and substantial achievement in price and performance. The 2006 Product of the Year Awards will be announced in the January 2007 issue of Electronic Products with a cover feature and a brief description of each product. 2006 marks the 31st anniversary of Electronic Products’ “Product of the Year” Awards, which began recognizing the best products in the industry in 1977.
“We are honored to be chosen by the editors of Electronic Products Magazine for this prestigious award,” said Jack Peterson, VP of Sales and Marketing at Jadoo. “Our team has worked hard to deliver the highest quality, best value fuel cell products available today. Providing critical power support for emergency preparedness, law enforcement, and other off-grid applications is our company mission and to be recognized for these efforts is outstanding.”
