The Power Pack

New York (SPX) Oct 20, 2005
Medis Technologies has announced that it has received a follow on order from General Dynamics C4 Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics, for further research and analysis of Medis' fuel cell Power Packs.

The order provides for milestone payments totaling $150,000. The project is focused on exploring unique applications for fuel-cell powered tablet computers.

"Our development work with the refuelable Power Packs expands capability because the Power Pack produces more than six times the watts as our disposable Power Pack," said Robert K. Lifton, Chairman and CEO of Medis Technologies.

"The research program allows us to work on developing the greater power required by more hungry devices and to significantly extend mission operations at the same time."

Medis previously announced the delivery to General Dynamics of a refuelable Power Pack capable of producing 6.5 Watts at 5.0 Volts output with fuel cartridges that allow for very rapid refueling.

Medis Technologies' primary focus is on direct liquid fuel cell technology. Its business strategy is to sell its products to end users through retail outlets and service providers. Medis has also developed the CellScan with many potential applications relating to disease diagnostics and chemo sensitivity. Additionally, Medis' product pipeline includes other technologies, in varying stages of development.
