Heliocentris and Angstrom Power Partner to Launch Micro Fuel Cell Educational Products
Berlin and Vancouver. Heliocentris Fuel Cells AG and Angstrom Power Inc. have partnered to develop and market educational products using the latest in Angstrom micro fuel cell technology. Angstrom will supply fuel cell stacks and data acquisition technology while Heliocentris will handle educational product design, system integration and global distribution.
Angstrom Power is a leading company in the development and commercialisation of micro fuel cell technology, while Heliocentris is an internationally recognized leader in the development and distribution of fuel cell systems for educational institutions. Students around the world can now use the newly developed Heliocentris Micro Fuel Cell Systems to run a variety of experiments and explore how Angstrom’s Micro Fuel Cells can power commercial electronics.
"We are pleased to be working with Heliocentris to bring our state-of-the-art and cost effective fuel cell technology to the scientific and educational markets." says Paul Zimmerman, CEO of Angstrom Power. "Angstrom is excited to apply its Micro Hydrogen™ technology to contribute the knowledge of future scientists and engineers in the field."
Henrik Colell, Heliocentris' CEO, couldn’t agree more: "There is a high degree of synergy between our two companies. Heliocentris' leading position within the fuel cell education space will help broaden Angstroms exposure to tomorrow's engineers and scientists, while Angstroms products will round out our product offering to secondary and post-secondary institutions. The Angstrom technology is ideal for incorporation into science and engineering classes, as well as for student design projects."
Heliocentris and Angstrom will first display their new micro fuel cell education systems at the Fuel Cell Seminar (www.fuelcellseminar) in Honolulu, Hawaii November 13 – 17th. Heliocentris will offer both a school product and a more advanced system for post secondary institutions. In the future Heliocentris plans a series of products using Angstrom’s Micro Fuel Cells to help students around the globe explore the world of fuel cell integration into electronic devices.
