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
Is hydrogen fuel cells fossil fuels?
no because hydrogen fuel cells are renewable
Has hydrogen fuel cells been used as energy yet?
Hydrogen fuel cells powered the Apollo space craft of the 1960's. They're also used today as large power plants for rural areas
What fuel is used in a fuel cell automobile engine?
Fuel cells operate by combining hydrogen and oxygen without actual combustion as in gasoline engines. A catalyst separates the electrons and protons to combine the elements. (Some versions of fuel cells are high-temperature only.) Hydrogen gas
Are fuel cells a fossil fuel?
Fuel conversion cells are made from platinum and convert the material going through the device into heat and electric power (about equally). The element used is often hydrogen. Hydrogen comes from many places, but the practical commercially viable method in use is from stripping all other elements from natural gas. This means that the hydrogen used in most applications is a fossil fuel. This does not mean it must be this way though. Hydrogen could be obtained through the chemical stripping of water into hydrogen and oxygen. This would make fuel cells non fossil fuel based.
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
Are fuel cells a renewable or non renewable source of energy?
Fuel cells are a manufactured item and are not renewable. The fuel that is used in the fuel cells can either be renewable (alcohol, methane from waste digestion,hydrogen from wind or solar conversion of water) or non-renewable (Hydrogen or methane from oil and gas production, alcohol from industrial processes)
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.
How are astronauts provide enough water while on there misson?
The Apollo spacecraft used fuel cells to create electricity. To do this fuel cells combine Hydrogen and Oxygen and the byproduct is H2O...water.
