Briefly Noted: Quantum Patent

Irvine, CA-headquartered Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. reports it has been awarded a U.S. patent for portable and transportable hydrogen fueling systems. The patent covers systems that incorporate self-contained hydrogen production subsystems or accept low-pressure hydrogen from external sources, capable of compressing and dispensing either 5,000 or 10,000 psi gaseous hydrogen. The company has developed two versions of transportable refuelers, the HyHaulerTM and the HyHauler PlusTM. Quantum CEO Alan P. Niedzwiecki says the company is currently commercializing these refuelers with major carmakers and the U.S. Army and is interested in licensing the technology to other manufacturers.
