The mission of H2Volt is to produce a long lasting fuel cell based mobile power source with a degree of magnitude capacity improvement over today's batteries. H2Volt power system uses patent pending fuel cell system integrated with a replaceable solid chemical fuel cartridge. Dr. Zhou, inventor of the technology, has over 7 year of battery and fuel cell research and development experience. H2Volt proposes to explore and demonstrate the feasibility of a "fuel cell battery" that generates 10-500mW constant power with 10 times energy capacity of alkaline battery, a life of 5+ years, easy integration with wireless sensors, and zero maintenance for the life of the sensor. It will develop a novel method of self-regulating, passive, "air breather" fuel cell that requires no moving parts, but maintains sufficient hydration of the membrane to provide stable and reliable power. The project will perform limited prototyping, testing, structural and finite element analysis simulations to validate the design. Initial commercialization efforts will be through OEMs as a primary power of mobile electronic devices. In military applications, the strengths of solid fuel, increases in energy densities and shelf life, lightweight, safety and environmental benefits will make H2Volt system an ideal solution
