SymPowerco Fuel Cell Project Begins
SymPowerco Corporation (PINKSHEETS: SYMW) CEO John Davenport announced today that the company’s Flowing Electrolyte Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Project (FEDMFC) has officially begun at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. The Project Team has held its first meeting and has developed and assigned the initial objectives and tasks for the team members, all of whom work within Carleton’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
In addition to refurbishing the SymPowerco 5 Watt FEDMFC prototype and bringing it to operational status, initial tasks for the team include the immediate development of mathematical models that will be used for operational simulations and the assessment of virtual and actual FEDMFC data. The team will also conduct expanded research of related DMFC literature. The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering has also decided to expand the team to include more graduate students. The FEDMFC project is being funded through a recently announced grant from Ontario Centres of Excellence.
SymPowerco Corporation develops advanced fuel cell and power delivery systems for the rapidly growing personal transportation and portable power system markets that are being created by today’s energy and environmental challenges.
