- Overview
A modular, scalable hydrogen storage system engineered for next-generation mobility platforms (FCEVs, UAM/eVTOL, drones). It eliminates the packaging limits of conventional cylindrical tanks and enables lightweight, compact, structure-integrated designs.
- Key Value
- Modular & scalable: Combine tube units into stacked arrays (e.g., 2×10, 3×5, 4×4, 6×3) to tailor capacity and form factor.
- Platform flexibility: Under-floor flat packs for FCEVs, rotor-arm integration for drones, and payload-deck modules for eVTOL.
- Structure integration: Flat/box packaging improves CG and space efficiency; modules can serve as structural members.
- High-efficiency manufacturing: Shares continuous forming/wrapping methods with TCP (thermoplastic composite pipes) to reduce cost and raise throughput.
- Safety & reliability: Validated with burst, drop, bonfire/fire, thermal cycling, and low/high-temperature/permeation tests (per application).
- Applications
- FCEV: Structural hydrogen tank module mounted in the vehicle’s underbody.
- Drones: Tube tanks integrated into rotor arms.
- eVTOL: Flat hydrogen tank combined with the payload deck.
Outcome: Modular tube tanks enable lightweight, compact, structure-integrated hydrogen storage with manufacturability advantages for mass deployment.
