The focus of this new technology is to create a fuel cell that is less of a laboratory experiment and more of a practical product than other products in the fuel cell industry. In accomplishing this, the Carbon-X fuel cell has many advantages over most other fuel cell systems. The Carbon-X fuel cell has Low Weight and Volume, so it is lighter and more compact. Anuvu's Carbon-X has decreases thermal gradients in the cell and thus optimizes cell performance and longevity. The Anuvu Carbon-X fuel cell will not require humidification or air compression as it runs on pure oxygen.
Metallic components are incompatible with the fuel cell chemistry or are poisonous to the catalyst.
Metallic fuel cells are likely to expire sooner than the Carbon-X cell.
