This is an electric Quadcopter powered buy fuel cell technology innovated by The Canadian "Energyor".
It got an amazing power density, pay attention to the water dropping from the Quadcopter, this is it by product and not dangerous gases like internal combustion engines.
Great job guys.

rob, i remember when you first started on Trex 600 heli with APM2.0 i was following you. you have come a long way since then. i diverted to multicopters. i am still fascinated by helis and would like to try soon since we have pixhawk now. which electric heli frame do u suggest to start with assuming i have now 4 years of experience with autonomous flight.
@ Rob
Nice. Love to see some pics and details. You should post a thread about the build. That's one thing I haven't done yet is a conventional heli. I know they used to be very difficult to fly but with a pixhawk at least you could learn without trashing a dozen rotors and parts first! re-pics from a gasser... I made my own camera vibration isolator using nitro full tubing. ps sorry to be OT here.
Yes. Commercial duty motor.
Rob is it a 2 stroke?
The Lithium Air are there from the 70s and not yet in the market.
I wish they were.
I'll be trying to get pictures from the gasser soon. Might not be good for imaging though. But great for deliveries, spraying, etc.
Fuel cells might miss the boat if Lithium air takes off. A theoretical 12,000wh/kg available, but the problem is the amount of cycles the cathode can sustain.
What about the vibration issues of the gassers?
I agree that the batteries has to improve, and i am sure they going to, in the future.
About the MTBF of fuel sell, hope someone from energyor will answer it.
I will email them.
Actually, I find it more reliable than electric. Particularly the batteries which are so finicky.
And do we have an MTBF on this fuel cell system?
