Originally developed by NASA for the space program, fuel cell technology is under commercial development as a method of delivering clean, efficient electrical power to commercial, industrial and residential customers.
"Fuel cell plates are a critical part and major cost in the design of modular fuel cell systems," says Mark Bahmueller, vice president of Hull/finmac. "The technology requires that the plates have high conductivity, no permeability, and high strength characteristics with minimal thicknesses."
