SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--Fuel Cell Store (http://www.fuelcellstore.com), the leading international online retailer of fuel cell products and organizer of the 2007 International Youth Fuel Cell Competition (IYFCC), today announced the winners of the 2007 IYFCC. The competition, held October 15-17, 2007 in conjunction with the 2007 Fuel Cell Seminar & Exposition in San Antonio, Texas, featured seven teams that represented Germany, India, Japan, and the United States.

The main events of the 2007 IYFCC were the Academic Bowl, which tested participants on technical knowledge of fuel cell technologies; the Fuel Cell Lift Competition, which challenged participants to build a model fuel cell powered fork lift; and the Fuel Cell Model Car Competition, which challenged participants to build and race a model fuel cell car. The winner of the Academic Bowl was Team 3, from India (comprised of Ashwinderjit Kaur Bhatti and Avneet Kaur Narang). The winner of the Fuel Cell Lift Competition was Team 1, from the United States (Erica Von Stein and Paul Rosenberger), and the winner of the Fuel Cell Model Car Race Competition was the team from Germany (Manuel Kochen and Moritz Greif).

Other winners from the 2007 IYFCC include:

-- The Engineering Award for Fuel Cell Lift - Team Germany (Manuel Kochen and Moritz Greif)

-- The Ovonics Hydrogen Storage Award for Innovative Hydrogen Storage Design - Teams 1, 2, and 3 of India combined (Supreet Kapoor and Jasleen Kaur Brar, Gursimran Singh Bawa and Ruskin Singh Bhasin, Ashwinderjit Kaur Bhatti and Avneet Kaur Narang).

"The 2007 International Youth Fuel Cell Competition was a huge success as participants from across the world gathered this week to showcase their knowledge and application of hydrogen fuel cell technology," said Kay Larson, director, IYFCC. "As fuel cells have immediate commercial applicability with lift trucks and heavy materials handling, the IYFCC fork lift competition tasked participants to overcome the same challenges that are being faced by the major fuel cell manufacturers today. As the major international fuel cell competition, the IYFCC fosters students across the world to critically think about and apply cutting edge alternative energy technologies and highlights the emerging role that fuel cells can and will have for our immediate future."

The seven teams of the 2007 IYFCC consisted of: Team Germany (Manuel Kochen and Moritz Greif); Team Japan (Takuya Kageyama and Shunsuke Tanabe); Team 1 of the United States (Erica Von Stein and Paul Rosenberger), Team 2 of the United States (Nick Phillips and Patrick Fenelon); Team 1 of India (Supreet Kapoor and Jasleen Kaur Brar), Team 2 of India (Gursimran Singh Bawa and Ruskin Singh Bhasin), and Team 3 of India (Ashwinderjit Kaur Bhatti and Avneet Kaur Narang).
