Ecotality To Accelerate Its New Hydrogen Programs

ENERGY TECH

Hydratus is a patented technology of Ecotality that addresses the global energy challenge by creating hydrogen fuel on demand in a portable device, eliminating the need to store hydrogen. Through a unique combination of magnesium and salt water, Hydratus produces hydrogen that can be used to generate electricity within a hydrogen fuel cell.

Ecotality has announced that it has engaged Airboss Aerospace to act as consulting engineers on its Hydratus bus. Airboss will work in conjunction with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Jet Propulsion Labs (JPL) and the California Institute of Technology to continue the development of the Hydratus, a system that generates hydrogen on demand.

Ecotality is developing new renewable energy technologies, and works with established technology partners, such as Airboss, to develop and commercialize innovative renewable energy solutions. Jonathan Read, the CEO of Ecotality, stated, "Airboss will allow us to quickly quantify and implement recent new advancements in the Hydratus project, provide us a strong adjunct to our JPL team, as well as spearhead the key task of integration of the Hydratus into the hydrogen bus."

Airboss Aerospace is a specialist engineering firm in high-tech aerospace programs, with particular expertise in designing, testing and building several cutting-edge aircraft. Airboss will work hand in hand with the scientists and engineers at the JPL to continue the development of the Hydratus through Phase I and Phase II.

Dave Fawcett, President of Airboss Aerospace, stated, "Airboss Aerospace, Inc. is very excited to be partnered with Ecotality in the development of this revolutionary power system for the Bus project. The ramifications of this program transcend the vehicle industry, to many other industries including aerospace."

Mr. Fawcett went on to state, "The Ecotality hydrogen program is well designed, and with the combined efforts of in-house Ecotality personnel, Jet Propulsion Laboratories, and AirBoss, I am absolutely confident that the industry could soon realize a revolutionary and efficient, as well as economical, power source."

The Airboss team will be lead by Mark Bettosini, and Dr. Rob Wolf, both widely recognized and accomplished individuals within the engineering and scientific communities and the Aerospace Industry.

B-52 Undergoes Synthetic-Fuel Cold Weather Testing At Minot

Minot AFB (SPX) Jan 23, 2007
A B-52 Stratofortess powered by a mix of synthetic fuel arrived here Jan. 17 for cold-weather testing, the last step in the testing and certification process to help reduce Air Force dependence on imported fuel. The aircraft, permanently assigned to the 5th Bomb Wing here, will undergo ground testing today through the beginning of February to determine how well the synthetic fuel, made from a 50-50 blend of traditional crude oil-based fuel and a Fischer-Tropsch fuel derived from natural gas, performs in extreme weather conditions.
