SAN
FRANCISCO-- FST Energy ( http://www.fstenergy.com)
announced today that it had received notices of allowance for two additional
patents which significantly broaden and deepen its growing IP portfolio.
This patent portfolio now provides a comprehensive solution to the hydrogen
economy, years before many thought this possible.
Introducing the FST Fuel Cassette: This solution provides pressure free, solid-state, intelligent H20-on-demand cassettes which can be distributed by common carrier just as safely as DVDs -- like a "Netflix(TM) for hydrogen." Additionally, the system allows average users to safely produce and fill the hydrogen at home, office or plant with no dangerous high-pressure systems required.
The FST Fuel Cassette system uses any solid state or standard storage media (contained within the rechargeable, slide-in, slide-out cassette) to safely and efficiently absorb and store the hydrogen in an inert solid-state form, much like a sponge absorbs water.
Inventor Scott Redmond ( http://www.scottredmond.com)
said: "We are excited by the news and ongoing validation of our lead in
the new energy opportunities. We look forward to partnering with licensees
to provide the ultimate solution for the new energy future for fuel cells,
hydrogen combustion systems and all devices using hydrogen."
FST, who has recently completed
a contract for the US Department of Energy awarded by a special Congressional
act, is a pre-revenue start-up. In its demonstration project, FST exceeded
the DOE storage target of 6 Wt.%, and its newly patented approaches are
expected to achieve very significantly improved results.
FST is delivering a first product
to market, called the DC3 Personal Power Plant(TM), which takes in water
and delivers H20 batteries, as well as electricity, from the water and
is looking for manufacturing and licensing partners to develop a full line
of cassette-based hydrogen products to power laptops, cell phones, automobiles
and many more uses.
