FUTURE POWER PACK PRODUCTS & APPLICATIONS

The Power Pack is the world’s first consumer fuel cell product. It’s based on Medis’ proprietary Direct Liquid Fuel Cell (DLFC) technology. This DLFC technology is based on seven years of research and development. The result is a break-through in fuel cell performance, cost and accessibility.

DLFC technology is a platform technology that, can be extended to other fuel cell product offerings. By extending our established technology to larger format fuel cell products, Medis is in a unique position to create an entire family of fuel cell products that provide a cost effective high performance solution. We have already developed and demonstrated several higher power (5W to 20W) fuel cells prototypes for military and consumer applications and we are working now to develop our second generation product line.

Some of the potential future products under development today include:

POWER PACK CARTRIDGE SYSTEM
The Power Pack product is a single-use, non-refuelable product. Future generation Power Pack product offerings are under development where the Power Pack will be rechargeable using a fuel cartridge system. This will extend the product life and provide and a lower use cost to the consumer.

MILITARY APPLICATIONS
Portable fuel cell power products are an excellent solution for the military because of their long life, no noise, no odor and low thermal signature. Medis is working with General Dynamics C4 Systems to promote the 24/7 Power Pack for military use by the Department of Defense in GSM secure phones, PDAs and other uses as well as for sales to the Department of Homeland Security. Potential applications include:

• Military GSM Secure & Secure Smartphone applications
• Unmanned sensors
• Ruggedized tablet computer applications

Medis is also developing an 800W fuel cell prototype for Israeli Aircraft Industries (IAI) for UAV (unmanned air vehicles) applications. UAVs use powerful electric engines to silently fly the craft over long distances for extended operating time. Our fuel cell technology could help extend mission times in the field.

LAPTOP APPLICATIONS
Medis announced programs for the development of refuelable fuel cells for laptop computers. Plans are to deliver 15-20 watts and 12-15 volts for a period of 8-10 hours on each refueling. The right fuel cell source could enable laptops to run intensive business applications such as multimedia, graphics and computation programs, while performing tasks such as security updates and scheduled maintenance without draining PC battery power. These capabilities could provide added stability for increased productivity, access to information and customer service.

SMALL OFFICE / HOME OFFICE APPLICATIONS
Medis announced programs to develop refuelable cartridge fuel cell products to be used for stationary power / backup for small office and home office use. The initial product concept has a preliminary size of approximately 40x60x50cm and a system weight of approximately 25 Kg, 30 month program.
