MTI and Harris Further Develop Micro Fuel Cells for Military
Albany - Oct 13, 2003 MTI MicroFuel Cells Inc. (MTI Micro), a subsidiary of Mechanical Technology Inc. and Harris Corporation announced Friday an agreement that builds on work completed under an earlier project and advances their joint development of micro fuel cell systems for portable military communications equipment. As part of the first agreement between the two companies, entered into November 2002, MTI Micro developed direct methanol micro fuel cell (DMFC) system power-pack prototypes for use with Harris' tactical handheld radios. In May 2003, the two companies began demonstrating the resultant prototypes and discussed future military applications for micro fuel cells at a number of military and fuel cell industry conferences. Under the new agreement, Harris will purchase next generation direct methanol micro fuel cell system prototypes from MTI Micro. "The military needs smaller, more sophisticated radios, with more functions and a longer use time, all of which means a greater need for power," said MTI Micro president and chief executive officer Dr. William Acker. "Working with a demonstrated leader like Harris can accelerate the development of micro fuel cell systems to provide these benefits." "We are pleased to continue our work with MTI Micro as we address the need for an improved power source for today's military communication devices," said David Stephenson, vice president, marketing and new business initiatives, Harris Corporation, RF Communications Division.
