Fuel Cell Stack 4/2017 to 5/2022On a prototype, next generation, fuel-cell stack, I identified multiple manufacturability issues. One of my contributions was a redesigned sealing method for cost containment and manufacturability. Also, I Identified a manufacturing technique, adiabatic forming, to achieve quality and cost targets for formed metal bipolar plates. I selected a supplier of this technique and act as the technical liaison between our firms. Worked on a new configuration fuel cell stack specific to a customer’s needs.Steam Methane Reformer 8/2015 to 4/2017 (1year 8 months)I identified and corrected, several design issues which had cost Nuvera over a million dollars a year. One compressor’s expected life was increased ten fold as a result of these changes. Also, I Initiated a version change to the product, primarily to accumulate multiple revisions into one change for Manufacturing, but also to cut cost, as well as increase reliability, serviceability and manufacturability.

Electro-chemical Hydrogen Compressor 8/2011 to 7/2015 (3 year 11 months)I was a member of a small project team, which developed an electrochemical hydrogen compressor based on PEM technology and capable of 875 BAR. To the best of our knowledge this was the world’s first commercially viable electro-chemical hydrogen compressor. We developed a laboratory scale proof of concept, an engineering scale multi-cell stack and several, full active area multi-cell stacks, as well as all associated machinery, fixturing and tooling for assembly.

Available for companies who need help phasing product out of the prototype stage into pre-production and production, designing products for manufacturability, supply chain management, value engineering and general mechanical engineering functions.
