Solid-state hydrogen-powered drones successfully tested in the UK

The drones on the market mostly use lithium batteries as the power source, and the weakness is that they have been unable to break through the bottleneck of short battery life. The Scottish Marine Science Association (SAMS) successfully conducted the first flight test at the Scottish Airport using a solid-state hydrogen-powered system drone, which took off for 10 minutes and landed smoothly for 10 minutes. Its performance is better than lithium batteries and its weight is 3 times lighter.

According to a report by the physicist organization network on the 27th, the prototype of this solid-state hydrogen-powered drone was developed by the two companies, Cella Energy and Arcola Energy, in the United Kingdom. The gas generator used in the new system uses a proprietary solid substance that releases a large amount of hydrogen atoms when heated above 100 °C, providing three times the power supply of the lithium battery as a fuel, and also for specific uses. Form a range of shapes for mobile devices like drones.

The use of clean, reliable energy for drones is essential for environmental and climate monitoring. According to Phil Anderson, head of the marine technology research and development team at the Scottish Marine Science Association (SAMS), drones can fly for two hours with this fuel, and their powertrain uses Cella Energy's hydrogen storage technology to address compression. The problem of potential hazardous transport of hydrogen.

A report released at the Green Car Conference in February stated: "The newly developed material is stable in air at temperatures below 500 ° C, solving the problem of the need to compress hydrogen during transportation. Because it is A hydride that is chemically recyclable, so Cella Energy says it is working with partners in the chemical industry to take an existing approach to cost-effective industrial recycling at a certain scale."

Steven Bennington, managing director of Cella Energy, said: "This flight test uses a small prototype system, and in the near future there will be another larger version of the new hydrogen power system." CEO Alex Kes also pointed out that what users urgently need is a power supply that goes beyond the existing technology, especially for those emergency services departments, as well as companies that investigate or measure infrastructure such as wind turbines and gas pipelines.
