CORAL SPRINGS, Florida, October 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Hydrogen fuel based power technologies focus on the opportunity for military, companies and consumers to increase productivity, improve operational efficiency while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy security as leading advanced technology companies such as; Neah Power Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: NPWZ), Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP), Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG) and many other hydrogen producing players, develop latest and improved hydrogen fuel cell based technologies.

Neah Power Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: NPWZ) an emerging leader in fuel cell-based power solutions and rechargeable lithium battery storage solutions for defense, commercial, and consumer applications, proudly announced the launch of the improved Formira HOD(R) platform, releasing a video that can be viewed here (...) and the white paper and spec sheet for the product that allows potential customers to estimate the size of the fuel cell for their specific application (add link). The Company also noted that it has chosen BASF (OTC: BASFY) to be its preferred supplier of formic acid for the Formira HOD platform through its global network of production and distribution sites.  President and CEO of NEAH POWER said, "We are so proud to be launching this improved product. We believe this is the most energy dense, safe, cost effective, liquid source for the generation of hydrogen. The hydrogen can be used for a variety of applications, as a fuel for fuel cells, for metals processing, and other applications. We have also taken the unusual step of posting our product spec sheet on the website, with a simple calculator that customers can use to determine the size of a system for their specific application".  He further noted, "Unlike other reformer technologies, we use the same fuel source (formic acid) to run the reformer and to generate hydrogen, and the fuel contains less than 5% water, unlike other reformers that can contain 30% or more water. The hydrogen generated is consumed by the fuel cell, and we do not store the gaseous hydrogen, addressing various safety and handling concerns related to compressed hydrogen use in fuel cells."

The Company will continue to update on the exciting commercialization of this disruptive product.

Founded in 2000, Minnesota based Cymbet Corporation has taken in just shy of $70 million in funding from investors such as Dow Chemical (NYSE: DOW [http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=dow&ql=1 ]), Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN [http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=TXN&ql=0 ] ), and Intel. Cymbet uses a traditional semiconductor fabrication process to produce a rechargeable battery called the EnerChip which contains no liquids, gels, or harmful chemicals. With two U.S. based manufacturing plants, Cymbet has become the world's largest volume manufacturer of solid state batteries.  While Cymbet appears to be the clear leader in the solid state battery space, the technology seems prohibitively expensive to use on anything but the smallest of applications. The EnerChip solid state battery is 10x smaller than non-rechargeable coin cell batteries and lasts 3x as long with an estimated life of 10 years. SOURCE: http://www.nanalyze.com/2015/10/cymbet-solid-state-batteries-with-energy-harvesting

As the U.S. Armed Forces seek to improve agility and mobility, the U.S. Army is making great efforts to reduce the weight soldiers must carry without sacrificing protection. Body armor is vital to that effort. Ceradyne, Inc., a 3M company (NYSE: MMM [http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=mmm&ql=1 ]), received a contract modification worth $34 million from the Army to provide 28,000 pieces of body armor under the Soldier Protection Systems Vital Torso Protection program for lightweight enhanced small arms protective inserts (ESAPI).  Worn by U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, ESAPI ceramic armor plates are inserted into outer modular tactical vests to provide torso protection against small arms fire. Ceradyne-produced ESAPI plates reduce weight significantly over the previous generation of inserts while providing the same level of protection.
