Present Accomplishments
On 13 May 2007 a team from the University of Applied Sciences in Offenburg did present world's first vehicle powered by a DEFC at Shell's Eco-marathon in France. The car "Schluckspecht" attended a successful test drive on Nogaro Circuit powered by a DEFC stack giving an output voltage of 20 to 45 V (depending on load).
Various prototypes of Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell Stack mobile phone chargers were built featuring voltages from 2V to 7V and powers from 800 mW to 2W were built and tested.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book! The book exists for us, perchance, that will explain our miracles and reveal new ones. The at present unutterable things we may find somewhere uttered.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
