Hydrogen is an eco-friendly energy source for sustainable Earth
Fuel cell is an eco-friendly hydrogen generation technology that produces electricity by a chemical reaction involving hydrogen and oxygen.
When supplied into the fuel cell, hydrogen is split into a positive hydrogen ion and an electron at the hydrogen reaction pole. Upon passing the electrolyte membrane, the positive hydrogen ion meets oxygen at the oxygen reaction pole and generates water and electricity. With this, you can power a drone for a long time.
Since oxygen can easily be obtained from the atmosphere, mounting the fuel cell powerpack with DMI's hydrogen tank is all you need to operate a drone.

Hydrogen enables a more eco-friendly and safer energy source for drones
-
Safe energy, Hydrogen
Hydrogen is safe industrial gas that has been in use at industrial sites since a long time ago. There is no danger of explosion as hydrogen, which is the lightest element on Earth, evaporates the moment it is leaked. DMI enables long endurance flight of drones using hydrogen.
-
Renewable energy, Hydrogen
Hydrogen is pollution-free as the amount of emissions such as exhaust gas is minimal. With renewable energy being widely adopted around the world, hydrogen is gaining spotlight as a promising alternative energy source. Hydrogen is the next-generation, eco-friendly energy source.

Future energy, hydrogen
Currently, countries around the world such as the US, China, Japan, and Germany are focusing efforts on hydrogen-related research and infrastructure development. To become leaders in the hydrogen economy, advanced countries are investing heavily in all stages of hydrogen value chain including production, transport, storage, and application. On the basis of hydrogen infrastructure, the use of hydrogen in the mobility sector will expand greatly going forward.
