HYCOPTER - HYDROGEN POWERED MULTI-ROTOR
Features
In the Air
We have been developing and integrating high performance and ultra light electric power systems for UAVs and drones worldwide. With our unique and advanced expertise in R&D for the Defense industry, we are now deploying our technology for commercial applications. We offer a wide range of products and configurations, giving various possibilities for UAV and drone manufacturers to opt for the most suitable and best-in-class power systems based on field operations constraints and requirements.
On the Go
The PFC SOLDIERPAK is a portable energy supply that provides automatic and universal charging via intelligent power managers to existing soldier-carried electronic devices.
Due to the increased deployment of modern electronic military equipment in the field, there is an increasing demand for mobile and portable power systems. Night vision goggles, computer systems, communication networks, GPS locator, and field sensors are some of these applications.
Lightweight, reliable and portable electrical power supplies are thus important for off-grid and on-the-go field applications.
Our PFC SOLDIERPAK system is able to deliver 5 - 30 watts of continuous power and up to 50 watts of peak power consumption. It is powered with a single fuel cartridge solution, and safe for indoor and in-vehicle use, without any carbon emissions.
On the Ground
Small remote sensors or cameras are used by law enforcement and military forces in both manned and unmanned platforms for surveillance and reconnaissance. With added and enhanced capabilities, power consumption increases proportionately, thus requiring improved energy storage solutions for longer operations and reduced site visits.
The REMOBOX is essentially an off-grid fuel cell sensor power and data communications center.
It features an IP65 mil-spec ingress protection system with an optional data communications system and an optional weather station, with built-in surveillance camera, fuel cell / solar / hybrid battery power supply. The REMOBOX also integrates new reformer fuel cell, capable of 1,000 Wh / liter of fuel.
REMOBOX is suitable for deployment at border patrol, natural shale gas and oil wells, pipelines, construction sites, remote gate and property monitoring, railway networks, grid networks, commercial property, wildlife protection, and many more.
Covert cameras can be triggered by small wireless sensor exclusively for law enforcement, military, and corporate security to monitor crop fields, border security, graffiti, illegal dumping, and more.
Hydrogen fuel cell technology
Hydrogen (H2) is the most abundant element on earth. It is also an alternative fuel with very high energy content by weight. Hydrogen can be found at enormous quantities in the air, water, hydrocarbons, and other organic matter.
Hydrogen is also a versatile energy carrier that can be harvested, stored, and used to power almost every end-use energy need. In its liquid form, hydrogen can be burnt to power space rockets!
A Hydrogen Fuel Cell is an energy conversion device that can efficiently and effectively capture and harness the energy stored inside hydrogen. Through this system, we can convert hydrogen (gas or chemical hydrides) into electricity.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell has a broad range of applications, including powering buildings, transportation units, portable electronic devices, and back-up power systems. They are grid-independent and eco-friendly.
Hydrogen fuel cell modules
In a nutshell, a Hydrogen Fuel Cell System consists of 2 main modules:
Fuel Cell Stack - the Power Generating Module
This module is the heart of any fuel cell power system. It combines hydrogen gas stored in a tank or cartridge, and oxygen from the air to produce electricity, heat and water. A typical fuel cell stack may consists of hundreds of fuel cells.
HES Energy Systems designs, manufactures and integrates special aerospace-grade Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cells Stacks.
Fuel Cell Cartridge - the Energy Storage Module
This module acts as the fuel storage unit for the fuel cell system. Hydrogen can be stored either in its original form (compressed gas in high pressure cylinders), in liquid form (in cryogenic tanks), or in solid chemical form (as chemical hydrides). In its solid state, hydrogen can be extracted through the process of hydrolysis.
HES Energy Systems designs, manufactures and integrates advanced energy storage solutions for high-end applications.
