| Abstract: |
This NAVY Small Business Technology Transfer project is directed toward the development of a novel hydrogen generator that employs nanostructured metal foam catalysts. Special coating and form factor will also be employed to the hydrogen generating materials to ensure the safety of storage and transportation, while maintaining very high packing density compared with conventional powder packing. |
| Benefits: |
Successful completion of the Phase I program will demonstrate the feasibility of the approach. It will establish a robust methodology to safely and efficiently transport, convert and deliver the hydrogen as needed. Remote installation power supply and civilian underwater exploration will obtain significant benefits from the R&D effort. |
