Design of Sustainable Energy Supply for Mechanical Exoskeleton Based on Fuel Cell

Abstract:

In this article, it takes the small power mechanical exoskeleton with fuel cells as the main application target. Based on different two hydrogen supply methods, high-pressure hydrogen cylinders and portable metal hydride hydrogen cylinders, the box structure and shape design of small power PEMFC is made. It cannot only provide power as a independent component using high-pressure hydrogen cylinders supply gas equipment, but also as transportation power or portable equipment by installing rapidly metal hydride hydrogen storage cylinders, which realized the use of reliability, flexibility and convenience for mechanical exoskeleton.
