Magnesium Fuel Cell (MgFC)

Flame-retardant magnesium (Mg-Al-Ca) alloy that is specially designed is used for making the body of the AeroTrain #6.During investigating the properties of the flame-retardant magnesium alloy, it was discovered that the seawater corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy is larger than that of the conventional flame-retardant magnesium. It seems that the discovery moved him and he accelerated his development of the magnesium fuel cell (MgFC). The high seawater corrosion resistance leads to avoidance of the natural discharge problem, which is inherent to the fuel cell. The flame-retardancy of the magnesium alloy is at such a level as to allow the magnesium alloy to be welded in the air. The MgFC developed does not almost need catalyst. The price of it is negligible compared to that of the hydrogen fuel cell (H2FC). The MgFC as the emergency-use fuel cell has reached practical levels. >> More
