What is a fuel cell?

The

fuel cell changes hydrogen, fuel, electricity using air and other catalysts. The use of fuel cells is chemical energy trapped in hydrogen gas and converts it into kinetic energy, which we know as electricity, without fossil fuels, combustion or polluting emissions. As a remarkably efficient, incredibly clean renewable energy source, fuel cells can replace batteries and engines for power vehicles, laptops and residential energy networks. Such a source of pure energy, as part of the enlarged hydrogen economy, guarantees less dependence on the reduction of fossil fuel reserves, creates less greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change, nor inoperative as well as electricity based on engine. The outer layers of the fuel cell are an anode board with a positive charge and a cathode plate with a negative charge. Together with the central electrolyte plate they are catalytic environments that support some ELEktrochemical functions.

The anode separates hydrogen on protons and electrons. The electrons flow along the road and create an electrical current for the perimeter, while the protons move by electrolyte to the cathode. The cathode combines oxygen with protons and collects some electrons in the perimeter to recomb them into the water. The cathode allows the use of water and extra heat as other energy sources.

The independent hydrogen supply, like from the tank to the station, does not have to be the only source of fuel in the fuel cell. In fact, it is possible to run on rotting organic materials such as vegetation, because it also releases hydrogen. Or hydrogen can be separated from oxygen from water, electrolysis, solar or wind energy. If water is used as a hydrogen source, the fuel cell is virtually immortal because it continues in the cycle from water to hydrogen into the water.

In addition, the fuel cell is flexible because it can be small and portable or largerand permanent. The cost of converting the power supply network powered by fuel cells may be high at first, but over time it will significantly reduce the cost of maintenance, repair and fuel compared to conventional electricity generators. If the resulting heat can be used, say, warm the house during the winter, the fuel cell becomes even more cost -effective.
