Our Most Interesting Current Projects

Fuel Cell Hydrogen Assisted Sailboat
fuel cell boat
Canada's First Hydrogen Fuel Cell Assisted Sail Boat
Under cooperative development with AGO Environmental Inc. and Igreen Technologies Inc.

This project is under the direction of Jim Harrington of AGO Environmental.  
Ian Soutar of Microsec R&D assisted with electronics and hydrogen fuelling.

Jim just reported
on
August 24th 2007 ...
"
This is historic! It is the First Canadian built hydrogen fuel cell powered sail boat and it
is now operational.  Not as powerful as we will ultimately make it but it is running." 

Microsec R&D Inc. is supplying microcontroller and general electronic support as needed.
Igreen Technologies Inc. is supplying the fuel cells.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bike
The motor system on this FC Roadster is a 300 watt rear hub drive, the fuel cell is in the black pod, and the saddle
bags are both storage space and additional hydrogen canister carriers. She will go 32 km/hr, for 150 kms on $5 worth of hydrogen.
