Abstract :
The design, construction, and test of 5 kw, 40 kw, and 0.3 kw hydrazine-air fuel cell systems are discussed. Light weight and compact cell stack components were developed to meet cell stack goals of 16 pounds/kw and 0.25 cu.ft./kw. Militarized silent power sources of 300 watts and 5 kw, 28 volt d.c. were constructed. Test restLlts are discussed. The results prove that compact, silent, hydrazine-air fuel cell power sources are capable of field Army use and yield specific power densities in excess of 100 watt hours/lb.
