About Infinity Fuel Cell and Hydrogen
Since our founding in 2002, Infinity has focused many years of combined military and space fuel cell experience designing the next generation of air-independent fuel cells and regenerative fuel cells. With the support of NASA and several other US government agencies, we have achieved key breakthroughs in fuel cell design that have significantly reduced the complexity of these systems and dramatically improved performance and reliability.
A Message from Infinity’s CEO, William Smith
There have been many successes and advancements since founding Infinity. Two of those occurred in the last two years with the successful completion of a series of space flight experiments of our NASA STMD funded Tipping Point fuel cell systems on Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin New Shepard NS-23 and NS-24 missions. This demonstrated our systems’ capabilities to operate autonomously from launch, to assent into weightlessness, decent and recovery. NASA and other industry leaders recognized the significance of the return of fuel cell capability for spaceflight.
In speaking in public venues, what really caught people’s attention was when it was mentioned this is the very same vehicle William Shatner had experienced his famous spaceflight and observations of the “frailty of our planet”. Mentioning this drew attendees deep into the discussion. I made it a standard component of my presentations. This excitement and engagement made me think of exploring with Mr. Shatner a role as our Brand Ambassador and Advisory Committee member. It turned out that Infinity had a lot in common with him beyond the Blue Origin flights. Our discussions led to common goals and interests in finding ways to help build a better future for our precious planet. We are pleased to have Mr. Shatner serving in this role.
