Intelligent Energy's Upp Power Cell integrates groundbreaking fuel cell technology into a portable form, offering reliable, clean power in various environments. Designed for the automotive, stationary power, aerospace, and UAV sectors, it epitomizes power in mobility.
The project embarked on a journey to blend formidable power with a form factor that resonates with ease of use and accessibility. Our team focused on the paradox of integrating Upp’s potent capabilities in a small package. We prioritized the design to reflect robust battery reliability while maintaining a manageable size. The inspiration for the design came from outdoor travel scenarios, leading to the creation of a water-bottle-sized device, perfect for a backpack. Simplifying component attachment was key to enhancing the user experience, making the power cell a seamless companion for travel.
The mechanical engineering aspect was pivotal in realizing a design that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally superior. Our approach involved meticulous planning and execution to accommodate the power cell's internal components without compromising on its compact size. We engineered a seamless interface between the fuel cell generator and the detachable hydrogen cartridge, ensuring reliability and ease of use.
The electrical engineering dimension of the project was centered on ensuring that the Upp Power Cell delivers consistent and reliable power output. Our team worked on integrating advanced electrical components that are efficient, durable, and capable of withstanding various environmental conditions. We also focused on developing an intuitive user interface that enhances the overall user experience, making the power cell a reliable travel partner for charging USB-compatible devices.
