AIR MOBILITY VEHICLE WITH A FUEL CELL STACK AND A METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18139445 titled 'AIR MOBILITY VEHICLE WITH A FUEL CELL STACK AND A METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The fuel cell air mobility vehicle described in the patent application includes a fuel cell stack, a drain valve, and a controller. The fuel cell stack provides power for flight, the drain valve discharges condensate generated during power generation to the outside, and the controller manages the opening and closing of the drain valve based on various factors such as the state of power generation, flight status, flight position, and external environment.
- Fuel cell stack provides power for flight
- Drain valve discharges condensate to the outside
- Controller controls drain valve based on various factors
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in the development of fuel cell-powered air mobility vehicles for transportation and logistics purposes.
Problems Solved
This innovation addresses the issue of managing condensate generated during power generation in fuel cell air mobility vehicles, ensuring efficient operation and maintenance.
Benefits
- Improved efficiency in managing condensate - Enhanced performance of fuel cell air mobility vehicles - Reduced maintenance requirements
Potential Commercial Applications
"Fuel Cell Air Mobility Vehicle Technology for Efficient Condensate Management"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to fuel cell technology in air mobility vehicles, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the controller determine when to open or close the drain valve?
The patent application does not specify the exact criteria or sensors used by the controller to make decisions regarding the drain valve.
What is the impact of the external environment on the operation of the drain valve?
The patent application mentions the external environment as one of the factors influencing the controller's actions, but it does not elaborate on how different environmental conditions may affect the drain valve operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
A fuel cell air mobility vehicle includes a fuel cell stack that provides power required for flight; a drain valve that discharges condensate generated through power generation of the fuel cell stack to an outside; and a controller that controls opening and closing of the drain valve based on a state of the power generation of the fuel cell stack, a flight state of an air mobility vehicle, a flight position of the air mobility vehicle, or a state of an external environment of the air mobility vehicle.
