Fuel cell vehicle is the vehicle which is using fuel cell stack as a moving force instead of conventional combustions engines. They can be fed by H2 - so it will hydrogen fuel cell, or work on the solid oxide fuel cell principles.

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.
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.
What cars currently exist that make use of a hydrogen fuel cell?
Currently, there are no vehicles on the market which utilize the hydrogen fuel cell. Hyundai has plans to release a vehicle featuring hydrogen fuel cells as early as 2015. However, no vehicles currently exist that use this. There may be vehicles made by private individuals, but no pass produced vehicle has this technology right now.
Does the computer control the fuel pump?
Depends on the vehicle, on most every fuel injected vehicle the answer is yes.Depends on the vehicle, on most every fuel injected vehicle the answer is yes.
What are uses of the fuel cell?
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.
How is a fuel cell different from a typical cell?
A fuel cell oxidizes a fuel source, a standard cell is an electrochemical reaction.
What is the difference between battery and fuel cell?
Fuel cells and batteries are similar because they use a chemical reaction to provide electricity. A battery stores the chemical reactants, usually metal compounds like lithium, zinc or manganese. Once used up, you must recharge or throw away the battery. A fuel cell actually creates electricity through reactants (hydrogen and oxygen) stored externally. The fuel cell will produce electricity as long as it has a fuel supply. In short, a fuel cell vehicle is refueled instead of recharged.
What is the most fuel efficient vehicle in America today?
Any H fuel cell car, totally gas free and it doesn't take coal power to charge like an electric car
Which side of vehicle is fuel tank on?
Varies from vehicle to vehicle.
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.
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.
