ZAFC Development Progress

generation 7/8 plus team

	Generation 9 The ninth generation unit was developed in collaboration with our Joint Venture Partner H-Plus Eco of Korea. They provided invaluable support for the design and fabrication of the packaging and user-interface while Power Air incorporated a state-of-the-art Fuel Cell and power management system. This unit was successfully demonstrated at the 2007 Hydrogen and Fuel Cell International Conference and Trade Show in Vancouver (May 2007). Developments incorporated: Layout and system design was modified to emulate the Target Product Concept. Fuel Cell stack was two iterations beyond generation eight's technology. The unit produced clean AC power without external power electronics. Click here to see our Frost & Sullivan Award for Excellence In Technology.
	Generation 7 and 8 The seventh and eighth generation demonstration units incorporated a refined Fuel Cell Stack technology, updated system design and components for easier assembly and transportability overseas. Power Air demonstrated these units in Korea to our Joint Venture Partner H-Plus Eco (December 2006) and at the FC Expo 2007 Trade show in Tokyo (February 2007). Both demonstrations were very successful proving the compact, transportable, and safe operation of the technology. Click here to view the fuel cell components.
	Generation 6 Power Air's sixth generation zinc air fuel cell is the energy source inside PAC's generator demonstration unit that is currently being demonstrated to potential OEM manufacturer and Zinc Producer Partners. The Demonstration Unit provides quiet, clean, consistent power and can be sited indoors.
	Generation 5 The fifth generation illustrates the hopper which feeds the zinc pellets into the ZAFC where the electricity is produced. Note that the non-flammable, non-explosive zinc fuel can be stored in a simple plastic container until required.
	Generation 4 Six cell stack configured for testing at Argonne National Labs.
	Generation 3 Integration of air fan, pump, and electrolyte tank and redesign of cell frame for improved performance.
	Generation 2 Initial configuration of wedge shaped cells into ZAFC stack.
	Generation 1 Initial cells developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
