Hydrogen is an eco-friendly energy source for sustainable Earth

How Power is Generated from Fuel Cells

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.

How Powerpack Fuel Cell Works

01

Supply hydrogen

From the refueled hydrogen tank, hydrogen is supplied to the tube through the regulator.

02

Combines with oxygen in the air

Produces heat and electricity by a chemical reaction.

03

Exhaust air

Air is vented out through the fan.

04

Supply power

Electricity generated in the stack supplies power to the drone.

05

Run the motor

Drone flies as motor starts running.

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.

  • 2+ hours of flight

    Thanks to higher energy density, hydrogen fuel cell enables 2 hours of flight, which is 4 to 5 times longer than battery-powered drones.

  • Eco-friendly energy source

    Thanks to low noise levels, hydrogen fuel cell is not disturbing to the surrounding environment, and it emits no pollutants, just pure water.

  • long endurance flight

    Hydrogen fuel cell enables long endurance flight, covering 8 times larger area than battery-powered drones during an inspection.
