    Governor Corzine and New Jersey leaders and Worldwide entrepreneurs

    A great technology for a clean New Jersey. Available today.

    Direct Methanol Fuel Cells U.S. Patent No. 5,599,638 and U.S. Patent No. 6,248,460


    Forget unsafe hydrogen fuel cells and wind turbine farms as they are obsolete technology and can't deliver the portable and decentralized power we need today. Use your leadership to invest in a great technology and have our buses, fork lifts, mail postal carriers, golf carts, jet skis, snow mobiles, lawnmowers, communications devices, notebook computers, cell telephones, personal digital assistants use today's clean, super energy efficient, powerful technology Direct Methanol Fuel Cells.
    To our legislative leaders invest for manufacturing jobs of tomorrow. Business leaders move on today with a bright smog free future: Invest, leverage, support and use Direct Methanol Fuel Cells.

    Previously gave a little help, leadership, mentoring and technical assistance to the scientists at the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Labs to develop a better idea in Fuel Cell development.

    I suggest Governor Corzine that you have leverage the State's funds with colleges and business leaders and invest wisely and bring that technology to New Jersey and develop a joint development and manufacturing plan with the DTI Energy/JPL team.

    Reduce air polluting smog by lessening centralized demands from costly energy draining power grids with energy transported over unsafe long distances with localized secured cost effective power fuel cell generation.

    Help our citizens and our children with asthma and health issues.

    Have your advisors investigate, invest, educate and train our students, development enterprises to advance and use this modern proven technology along with advanced Clean Coal Technology for Methanol Production and Biomass production technology to advance our State and Nation to leadership in Energy delivery and power systems.

    Use Direct Methonal Fuel Cell Technology as Asia and Europe have already seen the benefits and are leaving the U.S. in the dust, inefficient power sources which require greater capalital investment and more reliance on unrelable foreign oil producers which is an inherent threat to our Nation and continuing pollution.


    Get together with the DTI Energy / the Jet Propulsion Lab's team and propel our way to brighter tomorrows.
    The CAG challenges you to use your leadership and governance skills
    to make our State a leader of tomorrow's clean technology
    Direct Methonal Fuel Cell POWER sources.

    I suggest you have some members of your staff, established and embryonic companies get with a clean future ENGINE system of the future which is available today to benefit all the people of New Jersey, our nation and the world.

    The Direct Methonal Fuel Cell POWER sources can be used in for quiet lawn mowers, replacement the noisy polluting gasoline powered blowers, ski jets and boat engines fouling fresh water lakes, polluting our shores and eliminate cost effectively other polluting other engine replacements and would be a boom to our production and manufacturing economy, our initiutions of learning and innovation to freshen our air, clean waters and eliminate fine particulate matter from our lungs, reduce adverse health impacts on people, fish, our milk cows, wildlife, trees and agriculture products grown in New Jersey.

    Leverage Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Techology into today's systems for a better tomorrow.

    A Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) works by creating thermodynamic potential out of the chemical reaction between methanol and air in a specific manner. Without the aid of moving parts, Direct Methanol Fuel Cells produce electricity through an electrochemical process, without combustion and without the need to reform the fuel stock into hydrogen or expose hydrogen in a gaseous state to the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM). The advantage of a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell POWER systems over a tradition battery is that a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell can simply be refilled with more fuel when it runs out.

    A DMFC is an energy producing device while a battery is only an energy storing device.

    Direct Methanol Fuel Cells only require externally added fuel to run. As long as fuel and air are supplied to the DMFC, it will continue to produce power. It does not need to be recharged.

    More than 2500 fuel cell systems have been installed all over the world -- in hospitals, nursing homes, hotels, office buildings, schools, utility power plants, and airport terminals, providing primary or backup power. Every country on Earth has stationary power and consumer electronics needs. Producing immediate stationary, decentralized power by using Direct Methanol Fuel Cell technology for absolutely every electrical need.

    In large-scale building systems, fuel cells can reduce energy costs by 20% to 40% over conventional energy service. There is no room in New Jersey for additional power plants. Buying out of state electricity drains our fiscal resoursed. Create high paying manufacturing jobs in a clean manufacting plant environment and be the world's innovation center though our universities.

    Leverage with the federal goverment through our Senator Frank Lautenberg and Congressman Rodney Frehinghuysen to earmark and support funding initiatives to our State and Nation to lead to greater National security and a clean, noiseless, particulate free environment. Join with the Department of Defense and use the thousands of skilled scientist and laboratories at New Jersey's nationally recognized Picatinny Arsenal which has facilities to be leverage, computer LAN systems and supercomputers to empower the teams. The fuel cells can be used on many military systems and hundreds of civilian spin-offs.

    On Jul 5, 2006, I contacted the National Training Center Sidewinders and U.S. Army Engineer School to investigate initiatives in replacing the obsolete communications systems that use thousands of batteries a week at Ft. Irwin alone.

    The DMFC development was announced by JPL more then ten years on July 6, 1995:


    Fuel Cells come in all sizes and compact ones too.

    Direct Methanol Fuel Cell POWER sources

  • Jul 6, 1995: by JPL/DTI team. With our national energy crisis let's move to the forefront to solve it with clean energy systems available now and innovate improvements to developed even further solutions to reduce our foreign dependence on oil though our own manufactured products using clean coal techonology and biomass production technology for low cost methonal production and reduced reliance on costly and unreliable foreign oil producers.


  • 2002 MTI MicroFuel Cells unveiled the latest prototype of its direct methanol fuel cell, a power supply that is about the size of a deck of playing cards.


  • 2003 Japanese invest heavily to development portable compact direct methanol fuel cell for notebooks, cell phones, and PDAs and lasts much longer that Lithium batteries. Batteries are a hazardous waste products in our landfills.


  • On Jun 24, 2004 Tobisha announced a DFMC that produces 100 Milliwatts of power weighing just 8.5 g (0.3 oz). Toshiba describes this unit as "small enough for integration into a wireless headset for mobile phones, but efficient enough to power an MP3 music player for as long as 20 hours on a single 2cc charge of methanol. The new methanol fuel cell outputs power and can continue to do so, non-stop, for as long as users top up its integrated fuel tank—a process that is as simple as it is safe."

  • Recent DMFC Patents

    Creativity further reduces size and improves the performance of
    Direct Methanol Fuel Cells which have 40 or 60 times the energy efficiency of lithium ion batteries.
