Hickham Air Force Base in Hawaii is testing a novel energy technology developed by Houston-based startup, Novaspark Energy Corp., to provide electrical power and hydrogen fuel in isolated military outposts in the Pacific theater. The technology utilizes wind and solar power to produce hydrogen through electrolysis from atmospheric water, which can then be converted into electric power or used to fuel drones and vehicles. The portable HyTEC unit, smaller than two porta-potties, can be airdropped and set up in under 30 minutes, enabling rapid deployment. It generates compressed hydrogen and electricity, offering an alternative to diesel or gasoline generators with lower noise and heat signatures. The system's versatility allows it to refill tires, produce water, and support various military equipment. The hydrogen produced can fuel drones and vehicles, providing strategic advantages in range and payload capacity compared to traditional fuels. Funded by defense contracts, including the Defense Innovation Unit and AFWERX, HyTEC has attracted interest from military agencies and the National Guard for its potential to revolutionize energy supply in austere environments and disaster relief efforts.
