Comments and thoughts about the project are much appreciated. The developed fuel cells systems are of the type Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC), utilizing methanol fuel, which has a high energy density. In addition, the system features fast (tens of seconds) and easy recharging of the cells, simply by refilling the methanol. Fuel cell based hearing aids are curently being developed in a colaboration between the Danish Technological Institute, Widex A/S, DTU Nanotech and iNANO Århus University. The project is sponsored by the Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation and the Danish Ministry of Science and Innovation.
