General Atomics Awards Jadoo Power Systems a Contract

Jadoo Power Systems announces that General Atomics, Space Power Division, has awarded Jadoo a contract to develop an advanced fuel canister for use with hydrogen fuel cells.

Using Jadoo's N-Stor intelligent digital fuel interface, the new fuel canister utilizes an advanced chemical hydride derived from ammonia borane. Compared to re-chargeable metal hydrides, one-time use chemical hydrides provide higher energy densities at a dramatically reduced weight. The fuel canister will allow consumers to choose which fuel option they prefer, knowing that the interface ensures compatibility with the Jadoo N-Gen fuel cell power unit. The proprietary Jadoo N-Stor interface adds following capabilities to the new fuel canister:
• Easy-to-use digital "state-of-fill" indicator
• Automatic information transfer between fuel canister and fuel cell for power, data and fluids
• Industry standard, tamper-proof safety valve design
• 100% compatibility with all N-Stor enabled fuel cell power units.
