      Demonstration experiment using Osaka City University's fuel-cell vehicles to operate ships on hydrogen

      Shigeyuki Minami, a special-appointment professor at the Organization for Advanced Research and Development, Osaka City University, and his colleagues on April 1 unveiled a demonstration experiment of a hydrogen fuel cell-powered ship (photo) that can drive a fuel cell vehicle as a hydrogen power generation system. It was jointly developed with Current Dynamics (Sumiyoshi Ward, Osaka City). It will be equipped with Toyota Motor Corporation's "MIRAI" fuel cell vehicle and can carry up to 50 cubic meters of hydrogen. It has already obtained an operation license from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. It can travel for about 13 hours at a speed of 8 kilometers per hour, and about 93 hours at a speed of 4 kilometers per hour. Professor Minami said, "We would like to confirm that it is safe and can run for a long time, and use this as a trigger for the development of fuel cell ships.

        Hakko Sangyo (Nakatsu City, Oita Prefecture) has completed and started selling a pressure vessel with a new structure using glass lining technology. The baffle (hindrance plate) for agitation is installed inside the main body to improve maintainability. The company will propose this product to the pharmaceutical industry and others as a product that will lead to improved production capacity. The company expects demand from pharmaceutical manufacturers in the process of making raw material intermediates. The size of the machines will range from 100 liters to 1,000 liters. This time, the company was able to clarify the inspection method of the product, which made it possible to sell the product to outside parties.
