Hydrogen fuel-cell in action

In preparation for our demo flight we spent a day putting together and testing a hydrogen fuel-cell (+5 hydrate canisters) as provided by H2GP (Thank you Ales!).

Hydrogen fuel-cell came without much information, documentation and controller, the only part we’ve got were Voltage and Power graphs as per below:

… seeing this we’ve called Richard to deal with that and put for us together a H2-powered LED-beacon. Richard’s been toying with that for couple hours, but it was worth it!

Finally Vilda joined forces and build a nice Aluminum platform for LED placement and tested everything on a blimp gondola.

It worked out spectacularly – it looks like we have 15+ minutes of hi-emission LED light and all is ready for out Sunday test! Thank you a ton Vilda & Risa!
