1 Fuel Cell Fundamentals

2 PEM Fuel Cell

3 Types of Fuel Cells For polymer electrolyte membrane and phosphoric acid fuel cells, protons move through the electrolyte to the cathode to combine with oxygen and electrons, producing water and heat.polymer electrolyte membrane phosphoric acid fuel cells For alkaline, molten carbonate, and solid oxide fuel cells, negative ions travel through the electrolyte to the anode where they combine with hydrogen to generate water and electrons.alkalinemolten carbonatesolid oxide fuel cells

9 “A simple chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen generates energy, which can be used to power a car producing only water, not exhaust fumes…the first car driven by a child born today could be powered by hydrogen and pollution free.” President George W. Bush, State of the Union Address, 2003

10 More Companies are hopping on the hydrogen fuel cell bandwagon

11 Wild promise abound, but can the most common element in the universe really provide the fuel necessary to power our ground transportation system?
