One area of energy storage that appears to be moving towards viability quicker than battery technology at present is the hydrogen fuel cell. Nissan Motor yesterday revealed its next generation Fuel Cell Stack (2011 Model) for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV).
Through improvements to the Membrane Electrode Assembly and the separator flow path, Nissan has improved the power density of the Fuel Cell Stack to 2.5 times greater than its 2005 model, and in so doing has created a world's best 2.5 kW per liter power density.
The cost of the 2011 model Fuel Cell Stack has been reduced to one sixth of the 2005 model.
via Nissan doubles power density with new Fuel Cell Stack.
That looks a bit like the top half of an old Nintendo NES. Nissan are lying to us, this is just a huge swizz.
