A CNRS scientist, Vladimir Lysenko, a senior research fellow at Lyon Institute of Nanotechnology, has brought a new solution for hydrogen storage by the use of silicon (not to be confused with the late Litvinenko's polonium).
By reducing this material to nano powder, silicon atoms bind to those of hydrogen during powder reduction process, and then only a few drops of an aqueous solution are necessary to release hydrogen.
The accumulator engine and its tank are separate. The fuel cell is integrated into the Cantar-H2O, while the tank, on left hand, is removable and replaceable. The small-sized tank is embedded in the old but sturdy Aaton battery blocks. It can be easily reloaded through a mini station which will be provided for rental at DCA. The right hand old battery block is used to get back the water produced by the chemical process (refer to the fuel cell diagram). Be very carefull not to obstruct the air input, just near the headphone knob, otherwise the fuel cell could stop working.
The autonomy of a fuel cell equipped Cantar-H2O is impressive: 69 hours shooting before replacing cartridge.
In the film world, it is certain that when they will see this white powder, directors and actors will become "Cantar addicted"!
The civic conscience of our development engineer, who is always anxious to go to the end of the analysis, has made him try out on himself. The result was a dazzling sinusitis. Nothing serious, the residue is only silica, a non- toxic, non- polluting material, on which it is so good to bask in summer by the sea.
This new eco-energy finally allows Cantar-H2O to claim the famous eco-label issued by the Japan Environment Association, required to open doors of the Japanese market.
And thanks to the French '08 eco-sticker, on any purchase of a Cantar-H2O, the State should refund, during the "Sustainable development" week, April 1st to 7th, the 700 euros of the fuel cell price.
