Fuel cell cartridge architecture that feeds fuel into a cavity—unlocking drop-in, compact fuel-cell stacks without licensing.
The patent describes a fuel-cell fuel cartridge with a housing, an internal structure that defines a cavity, and an opening that places the stored fuel in fluid communication with the cavity for operation. This mechanical flow-path design is specific enough to support compact fuel delivery, enabling cartridge-style fueling rather than bulky fuel plumbing. Previously, implementing the same cartridge geometry and fluid-inlet architecture would likely require negotiating licenses with the assignee.
Build cartridge-based portable power systems where a sealed fuel cavity delivers fuel to a compact fuel-cell stack.
Fuel cells and methods of operating fuel cells are disclosed. In one aspect, the invention features a fuel source for a fuel cell including a housing having an outlet, a structure having a portion in the housing, the structure defining a cavity and having a surface defining an opening in fluid communication with the cavity, and a fuel in the housing. The fuel is in fluid communication with the ...
