| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to develop a micro-compact fuel cell vehicle equipped with a hydrogen generation system using the reaction between “activated aluminum particles” and water. A micro-compact vehicle was manufactured experimentally based on a delta trike. The hydrogen generator, a FC and control system are put on the rear carrier. The 100[W] FC and two lead batteries are connected in parallel with the controller of the motor. The lead batteries are used to compensate for electrical power at the time of starting or at the time of driving up a slope. It was confirmed that the vehicle drive at about 12 [km/h] over 90 minutes by experiments.
