Violet^TM Fuel Cell Stick^TM claims they have overcome the most significant obstacles to fuel cells while increasing output by almost an order of magnitude “‘We believe that this is the highest density, scalable fuel cell in the world, and we are confident that we can quickly go much higher” said co-founder of Violet^TM Fuel Cell Sticks^TM Alan Devoe. For a full description of the technology I encourage all to register an d review the white paper at www.violetfuelcellsticks.com.
The impact of this technology could be quite extraordnary for those likeus waiting for a automotive/marine crossover; as while Toyota and General Motors are pushing back expected launch dates fuel cell hybrid vehicles for many of the reasons this technology appears to resolve. It would be interesting to compare VW’s lower temperature SOFC development in this area.

To recap the announced performance they have achieved an extremely high, 15KW/Liter cell density with their Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Stick^TM. Previous commercial fuel cells, including both SOFCs and PEMs, have struggled to meet a target of 2KW/Liter; and previous advanced concepts have struggled to achieve 4KW/Liter. The VioletTM StickTM has overcome the most significant hurdles facing fuel cells, and it resolves the technical limitations of existing technologies, such as sealing, cracking and manifolding problems, and poor volumetric density. Their technology offers a fundamental change to the physical structure of SOFCs enabling it appears for the first time, high density, low cost, mass produced solid state engines. The technology opens the door to mass production for numerous applications to include automotive and advanced vehicle concepts.
