MORE BORAX FUEL CELLS.

Millennium Cell, which has been developing hydrogen storage systems using sodium borohydride (a cousin of Borax) now has a competitor in the technology, Hydrogenics.

Hydrogenics has demonstrated a 500 watt HyPORT C (tm) fuel cell generator to U.S. and Canadian armed forces. Hydrogen is supplied to a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell from a sodium borohydride tablet dissolved in water.

The company is considering building larger output fuel cells using the technology. Visit Hydrogenics at http://www.hydrogenics.com/ , Millennium Cell at http://www.millenniumcell.com/ .
