Advanced Applications Group, Inc.
Advanced Applications Group, along with subsidiary Millennium Energy, have successfully prototyped a new class of alkali metal alloys for use in the “on demand” production of hydrogen. One of the unique attributes of these alloys include such properties as producing hydrogen over a period of many days, not just minutes, as is the case with hydrides. These alloys may also be “recharged” with electricity. This allows for the development of unique hybrid systems, where a conventional I.C.E. may be powered by hydrogen and then “refueled” with electricity.
