[PSUBS-MAILIST] Millennium Cell HydroPak

[irox <irox@ix.netcom.com>]

Hi,

seems a company called Millenniunm Cell are releasing (or demonstrating)
a customer fuel cell at CES in Las Vagas next week:

Seems their approach is to have a generator unit with replaceable
cartridges containing H2 (in some form).

Is anybody on the list attending CES this year and could check it out?
I'm wondering about the suitability for use in psubs, either for AIP
or as an emergency power option.

How safe is it for non-ventilated spaces?
Is water vapor collection going to be difficult to implement?
Specifics about power output (claims 25Watt continuous at 100V AC).
What chemical is the hydrogen stored in?
Does it provide it's own O2 (I'm guessing we supply that)?

Nice to see these products making their way to market.

Cheers,
  Ian.
