Trulite Introduces All-Inclusive Fuel Cell Power Generation System
July 31 2007 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Trulite, Inc. (OTCBB:TRUL), a developer of fuel cell technology and
products, announces the Trulite KH4, a portable fuel cell that
generates clean electricity. With 150 watts of continuous
generating capacity and up to 200 watts of peak capacity, the
Trulite KH4 will be one of the first, and more powerful, portable
fuel cells to be introduced into the market. The KH4, which is
currently undergoing internal testing, is designed to provide power
for residential and commercial users in situations where grid power
is not convenient or not available. Key targets for the Trulite KH4
include outdoor enthusiasts, industrial users, homeowners,
businesses and other users looking for a safe, portable power
source. For example, the KH4 may be used to power 12V and 120V
devices, such as a small refrigerator, a laptop computer or a DVD
player, quietly and safely while on a camping trip. An industrial
user may use a KH4 to recharge power tool batteries at a
construction site. �Fuel cells are a next generation technology not
only because they provide power when the power grid is not
available, but also because they offer a safer, more
environmentally-friendly power source than traditional generators,�
said Jonathan Godshall, President and CEO, Trulite. �The fuel
canisters are compact and can be stored safely for an indefinite
period of time, and hydrogen is a renewable resource.� The Trulite
KH4 is the result of nearly three years of development and testing.
The KH4 technology uses a dry hydride fuel source and a
sophisticated control system to deliver hydrogen to the product�s
fuel cells, generating only heat and water as byproducts. Moreover,
the Trulite KH4 is unique from other current fuel cell products in
that it can provide power both from the fuel cell and from its
advanced high-energy lithium ion batteries. The two 400 watt-hour
fuel cartridges can provide power for up to eight hours with the
unit operating at 60 percent of capacity. The cost of the fuel is
expected to be about the same as the hourly cost for gasoline in a
traditional generator. Because of its integration of cartridges and
batteries, the KH4 generates power immediately and is able to adapt
to appliances that have intermittent energy requirements. About
Fuel Cell Technology A fuel cell is a device that generates
electricity as hydrogen is combined with oxygen and passes through
a membrane, which separates the hydrogen into protons and
electrons. The water that results from this process is
re-circulated in the Trulite KH4. While the fuel cell generates
direct current, alternating current can also be provided by using
an inverter. Fuel cells were used as early as the Apollo
spaceflight missions to the moon, combining hydrogen and oxygen to
provide electricity and drinking water to astronauts. Since that
time, they have become the focus of development for stationary and
portable power generation systems, and fuel-cell-powered electric
vehicles. Products currently utilizing fuel cell technology include
fuel cell buses, military applications, auxiliary power units,
remote power and other transportation applications. About Trulite
