What types of material can a fuel cell be made of?
There are 3 main types of a Fuel Cell. 1. Hydrogen Fuel Cell. This is the main one people use nowadays. 2. Solid Oxide Fuel Cell. 3. Alkaline Fuel cell. Made from Alkaline metals.
Working principle of h2-o2 fuel cell?
Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells used in automobiles-also called Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cells-use hydrogen fuel and oxygen from the air to produce electricity. The diagram to the right shows how a PEM fuel cell works.Most fuel cells designed for use in vehicles produce less than 1.16 volts of electricity-far from enough to power a vehicle. Therefore, multiple cells must be assembled into a fuel cell stack. The potential power generated by a fuel cell stack depends on the number and size of the individual fuel cells that comprise the stack and the surface area of the PEM.
Where does the hydrogen we use as a fuel come from?
Some industrial chemistry gives hydrogen as a by product fro example the electrolysis of brine (salt water) would give hydrogen. We can also electrolyse water to give hydrogen for fuel.
How will the electricity needed to make hydrogen be made?
At my work we have a product that produces HHO for GM.It's a trade secret!But lets put it this way more then it take to make that same electricity!You always have the issue of the law of entropy which is one of the basic law of thermodynamics.1st law you can't get something from nothing!2nd law You always loss energy!Your talking about HHO from water right use electrolysis, because you can also use Mathian gas and push it through a catalyst "filter" like desalination.Now if we could just pump hydrogen out of the ground then it would be cheap!So until we can't pump fuel out of the ground doing anything else is a wast of energy!
Why hydrogen is considered as an ideal fuel?
Because it is very light in weight, burns in air with a high temperature and does not produce any carbon dioxide or other "greenhouse gases", since the only direct product from combustion is water. However if burned with air in an internal combustion engine it will still produce nitrogen oxides, which when combined with the water in clouds makes acid rain pollution. Therefore the best use of hydrogen as fuel is in a fuel cell to generate electricity for electric cars.
Fuel-cell automobiles use gas as a fuel?
No, fuel-cell automobiles do not use gas as a fuel. They use hydrogen gas as a fuel source, which is converted into electricity to power the vehicle.
Does hydrogen use a fuel cell?
yes it type of fuel
What kind of gas does fuel cell cars use?
Hydrogen gas
What is the fuel that is used for cell activity?
Water and they also use gas. They use a hydrogen cell, which explains the need for water.
What is a device that allows a car to use hydrogen gas to operate?
fuel cell
Is a device that allows a car to use hydrogen gas to operate.?
fuel cell
Fuel-cell use hydrogen gas and release into the atmosphere?
water vapor
What device allows a car to use hydrogen gas to operate?
fuel cell
What device allows a car to use hydrogen gas to operate it?
A fuel cell operates on the principle of reversing the process of electolysis of water. The fuel cell recombines hydrogen and oxygen to create energy and water.
Fuel-cell cars use hydrogen gas and release into the atmosphere?
water vapor
Fuel-cell cars use hydrogen gas and release what into the atmosphere.?
Water vapour.
