FUEL CELLS

What is a Fuel Cell? Fuel Cells run on hydrogen gas Electrolyze water Run gases through fuel cell Hydrolyze into water Releases energy Energy used in a motor

Why Fuel Cells? Fuel cells provide an alternative to oil Water is the only exhaust They are almost silent Can be stacked for more power Renewable energy Uses Hydrogen which is abundant

Question What are the efficiency changes of a fuel cell over time and different soak periods?.

DATA 15 Minute Soak 5 Minute Soak
