Description
This proposal addresses the Army's need for high-energy density, lightweight power sources for the dismounted warrior. The project proposes directly integrating a propane fuel reformer with the state of the art in solid acid fuel cell (SAFC) stacks to prove the feasibility of producing a 50 W person-portable, rugged, and efficient power supply utilizing propane fuel, capable of operating over 500 hours with a system energy density of 1000 Whr/kg.
