{"product_id":"adapta-stack-dmfc","title":"DMFC Adapta-Stack","description":"\u003cp\u003eDisassemble and reassemble your own fuel cell stack of individually connected cells with the Adapta-Stack Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC). The Adapta-Stack DMFC is available in 1-cell, 5-cell, 10-cell, and 20-cell stack configurations, depending on your power requirements. The ease of use makes it simple to scale to different power levels and integrate equipment such as sensors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Adapta-Stack DMFC is a fully assembled, tested, and ready-to-use Fuel Cell. Only a Phillips head screwdriver and torque wrench (\u0026lt;50 in-lbs) are necessary to assemble\/disassemble, so you can concentrate on creating your very own methanol-powered applications. Digital torque screwdriver or digital torque wrench sets (with 0 to 100 in-lbs capability) can also be used to assemble the Adapta-Stack hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is designed for educational purposes, allowing users to assemble and disassemble a single- or multi-cell DMFC to explore the principles of fuel cell technology. The Adapta-Stack DMFC converts methanol and oxygen into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction, producing water, CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e, and heat as byproducts. The Adapta-Stack DMFC is intended for educational and demonstration purposes to teach the fundamentals of fuel cell technology. It is suitable for students, educators, and researchers interested in renewable energy and methanol-based systems. The kit is not designed for commercial or industrial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMethanol and atmospheric oxygen are required for operation of the Adapta-Stack DMFC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Adapta-Stack DMFC labeled diagram: cooling fan, voltage measuring points, current collector, methanol inlet, fastening bolts\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9544\/7007\/files\/Adapta-Stack-DMFC-Graphic.jpg?v=1788973411\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Adapta-Stack DMFC is a dismantlable open-air cathode fuel cell that allows users to input their own custom MEAs for testing!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStack Contents Include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcrylic Endplates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraphite Flow Field Plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-Performance DMFC MEAs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.010” Teflon Gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper Current Collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 VDC Cooling\/Reactant Fan (Requires External Power Supply)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8\" Push-to-Connect Tube Fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8\" Guide Dowels for Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Properties:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower: \u003c\/strong\u003e0 to 20 milliwatts per cell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMembrane: \u003c\/strong\u003e50 µm PFSA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCathode Electrode: \u003c\/strong\u003e0.5mg\/cm² PtC (60%) Sigracet 39BB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnode Electrode: \u003c\/strong\u003e2mg\/cm² PtRu Sigracet 39BB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMEA Active Area: \u003c\/strong\u003e3.2 x 3.2 cm (10 cm²)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMEA Membrane Area:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 x 5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMethanol Concentration: \u003c\/strong\u003e3% by mass methanol-in-distilled water (1 molar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMethanol Flow Rate: \u003c\/strong\u003e10 cc\/min per cell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraphite Plate Overall Dimensions (L x W x D): \u003c\/strong\u003e6.0 x 6.0 x 0.3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Torque to Assemble:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-10 in-lbs (2 in-lb increments star pattern)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e Adapta-Stack DMFC Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1 Cell\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 Cell\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10 Cell\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20 Cell\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\nNominal Output -
