Mach Industries, a hydrogen and defense startup, has been developing Prometheus for the past year. Prometheus is an activated aluminum hydrogen generator designed to sustain civilian populations in austere environments. As currently designed, Prometheus intentionally minimizes distillation of coolant water, to reduce the overall burden of transporting locally-sourced water. For this Phase II, we will modify the cooling system to maximize water distillation, resulting in a versatile asset that can sustain warfighters with both power and potable water in contested logistics environments or in expeditionary bases.
