A fuel cell is really just a smaller gas tank, usually installed in drag/race cars, and off-road vehcles. Less fuel means less weight, thus increasing the power-to-weight ratio in a vehicle. It also makes more space in the undercarriage of the vehicle, allowing for installation of larger/different drivetrain and suspension components.
What else can I help you with?
How would one describe a fuel cell car?
A fuel cell car would be defined as a vehicle with an electric motor or engine that uses a fuel cell to produce electricity to power its motor with hydrogen.
Why is it correct to classify the fuel cell that you have costructed as a voltaic cell?
A fuel cell operates based on the same principle as a voltaic cell; it generates electricity through a chemical reaction. In a fuel cell, chemical energy from the fuel is directly converted to electrical energy without combustion, making it similar to a voltaic cell that uses redox reactions to generate electrical energy. Therefore, it is correct to classify a fuel cell as a type of voltaic cell.
What uses a chemical reaction to create an electric current?
A fuel cell uses a chemical reaction to convert fuel into electricity. It consists of an electrolyte and two electrodes where the reactants are oxidized at the anode and reduced at the cathode, producing electricity and byproducts like water.
How is a fuel cell different from a typical cell?
A fuel cell oxidizes a fuel source, a standard cell is an electrochemical reaction.
How does a fuel cell car works?
it uses electricity to turn water into pure oxygen and hydrogen then uses those gasses to produce electricityand it does this using a reversible Proton Exchange Membrane
Can liquid retain electricity?
The vanadium redox flow fuel cell uses liquids. ( a "battery" that uses liquids instead of solids) So "electrical energy" can be stored in a liquid battery.
What are fuel cells made up of?
A hydrogen fuel cell uses hydrogen as its fuel and oxygen (usually from air) as its oxidant. Other fuels include hydrocarbons and alcohols. Other oxidants include chlorine and chlorine dioxide.
What peice of apparatus would you use to change chemical energy to electrical energy?
A battery uses a chemical action to produce direct current electrical energy.
What is A voltaic cell in which a fuel substance undergoes oxidation and from which electrical energy is obtained continuously?
A voltaic cell that uses a fuel substance undergoing oxidation to produce electrical energy continuously is known as a fuel cell. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through redox reactions, with hydrogen or hydrogen-containing compounds being common fuel sources. Unlike batteries, fuel cells can operate continuously as long as the fuel and oxidizer are supplied.
Device that uses replishable substances to produce current?
A fuel cell is a device that uses replenishable substances such as hydrogen or oxygen to produce electrical current through a chemical reaction. This process generates electricity and heat without combustion, making fuel cells a clean and efficient energy source.
What does the cloroplast do in the plant cell?
Takes water, carbon dioxide and photons of light to make sugars that the plant uses for fuel, storage and construction.
What is fuel for a cell?
The fuel for a cell is made up of oxygen and hydrogen. The chemical energy produced by the two is what is converted to serve as fuel for the cell.
