Basic electrochemical reaction to generate the electricity:

4Al + 3O₂ + 6H₂O → 4Al(OH)₃ + E↑ + H↑

These reactions are further enhanced through proprietary chemical formulations, creating a unique method of energy conversion while using these readily available components
The resulting specific energy (300-500Wh/kg) is significantly higher than those obtained fromother existing sources of energy

The main advantages of the aluminum-air fuel cell technology are:

Theoretical limit of energy (enthalpy) is exceptionally high - 10.167 kWh/kg.
The capability for a scalable design allows one to create a complete power system in a wide range of power - from ten watts to hundreds of kilowatts.
The emission-free oxidation of aluminum by oxygen in ambient air conditions provides an efficient power supply.
Practical energy conversion process presently is ~ 8.100 kWh electrical energy and heat from 1kg of Aluminum. This is 80% efficiency of the theoretical limit.
Simple ability to swiftly mechanically recharge in any conditions, which is extremely important for portable, remote and especially military applications.
No flammable or combustible components inside the power supply system.
The resulting real specific energy (300-500Wh/kg) can be as much as 10 times the amount of a lead-acid battery.
Fully recyclable byproducts with no wastes.
Easy to ship: the battery pack can be shipped separately from the active components.
