Basics
- This page aims to list a Construction Set that lists everything related to Micropower
Consists Of
- Open Source Micropower Fuel Cell
- This may be “doable” with COTS PEM Fuel Cells , if using hydrogen
- Ideally a similarly sized SOFC running on Propane or Butane would be ideal
- Open Source Micropower TEG (Essentially a Blowtorch and a TEG + Heat Sink “stack”
- Not the most efficient, but easily done, and makes DC Power with little conversion required)
- Open Source Micropower Gas Turbine
- This would be incredibly difficult, but neat
- Larger 1kw or so scale can be done, re the Dynajet (GenSet) etc
- Smaller may be impossible short of Chip Scale Micropower Turbines etc
- Efficiency would likely be worse for small models as well
- Open Source Micropower Genset
- Open Source Micropower Genset - Spark Ignition
- This would be derived from an RC Spark Ignition Engine / Nitro Engine / Model Engine
- Open Source Microfluidic Hydrogen Production Chip
- Open Source Mini Fuel Tank
Uses
- Open Source Microfluidics Construction Set
- Open Source Micro Universal Power Supply
- USB C + USB C Cabling for Power Delivery
Allows For
- Energy Dense Power Storage (Depends on the fuel, but Specific Energy of Diesel Fuel vs Lithium Ion Batteries etc
- Expeditionary Power / Remote Power (also some potential for CHP / Trigeneration )
- While a concept invented by and for the Military, as with the Single Fuel Concept etc, it can be useful in certain non-military aspects such as
- Disaster Recovery+Resiliency
- Ultra-Remote/Rural Areas
- Educational/Scientific…or just fun “expiditions” such as Hiking and Mountaineering etc
- While a concept invented by and for the Military, as with the Single Fuel Concept etc, it can be useful in certain non-military aspects such as
- Near Instant Recharging (Just Swap and/or Refuel The Fuel Tank and Go)
