Stralis announced that it has completed over 1,000 hours of sub-scale testing on its next-generation, high-temperature PEM (HTPEM) fuel cell stacks to verify performance, in partnership with Daryl Ludlow’s team.
The patent-pending fuel cell system is:
– 6 times lighter than those found in cars and trucks, unlocking useful range hydrogen electric aircraft. The technology can also be used in drones, long-haul trucks, ships and mining vehicles.
– 50% efficient at cruise, higher than the world’s most efficient turbofan engine, due to system design, thermal management and turbocharged architecture.
– Designed for a system lifetime target of 8,000 hrs, which company is currently validating with a comprehensive test campaign.
The next steps are to build and test a 30 kW stack, then scale to 60 kW, which will be the key building block we use to deliver a range of systems, from 120 to 960 kW.
