Millennium
Cell Inc. (NASDAQ: MCEL)
Founded in 1998, Millennium Cell
is based in Eatontown, NJ has invented, patented, and developed a proprietary
process that takes advantage of the inherent energy density of boron-hydrogen
compounds, but that allows this energy to be accessed in a straightforward way.
This process, called Hydrogen on Demand™, safely generates high-purity
hydrogen from environmentally friendly raw materials. The produced hydrogen can
then be consumed in a fuel cell or hydrogen-burning engine to produce useful
power. The "hydrogen" is stored at ambient conditions in a non-flammable
liquid "fuel" - an aqueous solution of sodium borohydride, NaBH4.
Sodium borohydride is made from borax, a material that is found in substantial
natural reserves globally. The process supplies pure hydrogen for energy
applications without the need (and associated energy penalties) for compression
or liquefaction. Hydrogen produced by this system can be used for numerous
applications, addressing a wide range of power requirements. The primary input components of the reaction are water
and sodium borohydride, a derivative of borax. Borax is found in substantial
natural reserves globally. Hydrogen from this system can be used to power fuel
cells or fed directly to internal combustion engines. Millennium cell also has a
patented design for boron-based longer-life batteries.

In the last 20 years, wind power has progressed from a cottage industry to
today’s dynamic, high efficiency industry, through the advent of new
technology and the development of a highly scientific approach to positioning
the technology. Costs have been reduced through exciting advances in design,
production economies of scale, significant advances in the science of wind
power, larger individual turbine sizes and increased turbine availability (98%
average, the highest in the power industry). Today, the largest turbines produce over
250 times more electricity than the largest turbines produced 20 years ago,
with the current “mainstream” wind turbines ranging in size from 1.5MW to
2.5MW.With 3.6MW turbines coming very near to commercialization.
