A fuel cell works exactly the same way a battery works. Unlike a battery, the hydrogen comes from a tank and is put into the cathode. Rather than dissolve the cathode as is done in a battery, new fuel is fed into the cathode. An electron is removed from the hydrogen atom at the cathode. it is then sent through a wire. The nucleus of the hydrogen atom becomes the positively charged particle and functions as the positively charged particle just like in a battery. And just like from a battery, the electron goes to a motor, a battery, or some other device. It comes back to the anode where it is added to an oxygen atom. The Oxygen atom gains two electrons and becomes a negatively charged ion. Then two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms join together in the center and become water. The procedure can be made warm enough so the water is given off as steam.

Is hydrogen fuel cells fossil fuels?
no because hydrogen fuel cells are renewable
What type of emissions do hydrogen fuel cells create?
how does a hybrid car work
What is a bad thing about hydrogen fuel cells?
There are two problems with hydrogen fuel cells. One is that the cars that run off of hydrogen fuel cells are very expensive to make another thing is that hydrogen storage is not easy. The work and money it would take to put up hydrogen stations around the country for cars is too much to even consider it. Also another problem with hydrogen is te oil companies that don't wanna lose their business.
Fuel cells produce energy from hydrogen by?
the fuel cells convert hydrogen into energy using a converter and that energy is used to power the vehicle
What is true is true regarding hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen fusion?
More mass is converted to energy in a fusion reaction than in a chemical reaction, such as that found in a fuel cell. - APEX
What is the difference between hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen fussion?
In fuel cells the hydrogen is oxidised to water. In fusion 2 different isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium) fuse together to form helium.
Who invented hydrogen fuel cells?
jaison
What is a product of the hydrogen fuel cells?
water
Is hydrogen fuel for body cells?
No, body cells cannot use hydrogen on its own as a fuel. It needs to be included in a carbohydrate such as sugar, protein or fats.
Is Hydrogen Fuel Cells supposed to be capitalized?
No. Hydrogen fuel cell is not a title. You would only capitalize hydrogen if it was at the beginning of a sentence, as I did with this one. Otherwise, you would say 'hydrogen fuel cell'.
What gas combines with oxygen in fuel cells?
hydrogen
What are the waste byproducts of hydrogen fuel cells?
pito
