Windsor-based company, Infinity Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Inc., has recently secured a contract for the initial design of a space-capable combined fuel cell-electrolyzer system. The unnamed commercial space company is set to benefit from this technology which involves the conversion of chemical energy into electricity and heat by fuel cells, and vice versa by electrolyzers. Infinity is also engaged in collaborations with NASA and other partners to develop advanced hydrogen-oxygen electrochemical systems for use in space missions. The successful design phase could pave the way for the delivery of complete prototype systems and eventual flight systems. CEO William F. Smith expressed the importance of these technologies for the strategic interests of the United States in supporting future crewed habitats and transportation systems. Established in 2002, Infinity specializes in creating air-independent, zero-gravity electrochemical systems for both space and underwater applications. The company is currently in the process of raising capital through online crowdfunding to bring its product line to the commercial market.
