Mobile Hybrid Power System
NoGEN™
WHAT IS IT? It is a custom, fully integrated power module that provides 120 VAC and
12 VDC output for certain mobile applications. It consists of patented PowerCellTM
storage technology, pure-sine wave inverters, battery charger and ruggedized AC and
DC interfaces.
The PowerCellTM is a proprietary dry cell, technically defined as by-polar plate
technology. The Mobile Hybrid Power System is considered a “hybrid” system because
it is replenished by the vehicle alternator during drive and idle times.
KEY BENEFITS vs. GENERATOR:
Safe: No carbon Monoxide
Quiet
No maintenance
No fuel consumption
(significant operating cost reduction)
No emissions
Recyclable and environmentally responsible
(there is no hazmat component)
Totally transparent to the operator.
Minimal intervention or training required.
PowerCell™ BACKGROUND: It cannot be described in conventional battery terms and
does not look like a conventional battery. It is a solid brick of plastic and utilizes a higher
order of chemistry than traditional batteries. A PowerCellTM is rugged, safe, durable, and
has been exhaustively tested. Each stores 1000 amp-hours of power. A single cell can
start a diesel engine in excess of 100 times without recharge. They are fully recyclable
at the end of the life cycle. All other battery technology has a hazmat component but the
PowerCellTM does not. This product is truly in a class by itself.
The storage technology was developed as a joint venture between Ford and Tracor in
the 1990s. It is utilized in military weapon systems including the Abrams tanks, Bradley
Fighting Vehicles and on shipboard weapon systems. The purpose was to allow the
weapons system to stay active even if the vehicle is not running. The advantage of this
technology is that it is non-explosive and does not contribute to the detonation if
targeted. The technology was purchased by a private company comprised of the
principals involved with the development. They have been producing the storage device
for several years. The product is U.S. Made. There are three manufacturing plants in
the U.S., one in Texas, Oklahoma and Vermont. More recently, the company has
expanded into integrated solutions and value-added products; from megawatt UPS
systems in the South Pole, to load leveling of large wind generation farms and also
some commercial construction industry products. The company is involved in various
university research projects. E-N-G Mobile Systems has been involved with the
company for many months and has jointly developed vehicle-based products including a
large scale mobile office project for utility companies. This experience has led to the
development of products for broadcast vehicles.

DURATION: The R-6 Power Module (6000 Watt-hour rating) will power a typical
technical vehicle operating electronics and air conditioning for 2 to 3 hours with air
conditioning, and up to 5 additional hours with electronics only. If more operating time is
required, the operator can start the truck so that the alternator is supplementing the
storage, which will extend the output duration. A typical high-output alternator will
provide sufficient power to operate many electronics packages indefinitely. The Power
Management system is two stage: One stage operates the air conditioning and the
other stage operates the technical equipment. The air conditioning stage has a higher
shut-down voltage than does the technical stage, so as reserve voltage gets lower, the
air conditioner will shut down to preserve capacity for the electronics. Audible and
visible alarms advise of voltage condition.
RECHARGE. Any driving or idle is contributing to the recharge. A module discharged
to the alarm set point can be fully recharged in approximately 2 hours of driving or high
idle. (no load.) It can also be recharged from shore power in approximately 4 hours via
the on-board built-in charger.
LIFE TIME EXPECTANCY: Average life 7 to 10 years if in consistent use. This is
comparable to the life cycle of most vehicles.
TEMPERATURE CONSIDERATIONS: Operation improves with higher temperature to
about 120 degrees. In extreme cold, a “polar bear kit” is available that will improve
operation in extreme low temperature. The unit is less affected by temperature than
traditional batteries or generators.
