Objectives:

Continue to search for an appropriate hydride material and find all applicable pricing for a commercial hydride storage system.

Collect ant available gas regulators for use with the station.

Procedure Utilized:

Environment:

Temperature-	NA

Barometer-	NA

Relative Humidity-	NA

Results & Conclusions:

The stack that BCS Technology has agreed to loan me is a 4 cell stack with a cell surface area of 25 cm2 and power output of about 10 watts. These stacks are self humidified and air breathing therefore the storage of oxygen is irrelevant in the sense that it can be used as a power boost. W.L. Gore is going to provide some 50 cm2 membrane and electrode assemblies for testing. I have acquired a test fixture for the electrolyzer. I am still trying to hammer out the exact type of electrolysis catalyst that will be utilized.
