It’s an exciting time for Bill Smith, the founder and CEO of Infinity Fuel Cell & Hydrogen, Inc.
The company is at the forefront of the hydrogen fuel cell industry, highlighted by their involvement in a NASA program to launch one of their fuel cells into space on an unmanned ship in September.
The fuel cell, which has been in the works since 2005, is now being tested to simulate conditions in outer space.
The technology has other potential applications as well, drawing interest from the U.S. Navy.
“It turns out that the same technology is very useful for use underwater, another air independent application, an application where you don’t have access to outside air,” Smith said.
