F U E L - C E L L Swill change our future.The principle of the fuel cell is known for a long time. Sir William Grove explained the idea in 1839. Fuel cells work with different kind of "fuel" one possibility is Hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) ![]() A fuel cell powered tablet computer was shown at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show. Fluid Computer Systems was displaying its Windows-7 based tablet computer powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, supplied by Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies. FCS want to launch the fuel cell powered tablet to the consumer market nest year. B*S*B produces hydrogen and oxygen with the electricity produced by our windmill or with Solar panels We will show you how it works and how you can do it How does a fuel cell work ? Fuel cells are high efficiency energy converters generating electricity directly from hydrogen and oxygen. A polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) is the most used in the moment. The core piece consists of an electrolyte membrane coated by catalytically active electrodes. The membrane is conducting protons and separates the positive from the negative terminal. Fuel Cells are versatile There is a variety of possible applications: Vehicle propulsion Stationary electricity generation Portable power ![]() Fuel cell plant Advantages of fuel cells: High efficiency by use of electricity and heat Low noise NO emissions Wide range of applications CO2-neutral when operated on hydrogen generated by renewable energy A constant resource that is clean and does NOT destroy Nature. Fuel cells are now on the market You can buy them!
Fuel cells are electrochemical conversion devices. Fuel cells produce electricity from fuel on the anode side + an oxidant on the cathode side The oxidant reacts in the presence of an electrolyte. Both parts also called reactants flow into the fuel cell. The reaction products flow out of it, while the electrolyte stays in the fuel cell. Fuel cells operate as long as the necessary oxidant flow is provided. Fuel cells need an reactant from an external source - so you can call it a thermodynamically open system. There are different fuel cells who act with different oxidants. Hydrogen fuel cells use hydrogen and oxygen as its oxidant. Hydrocarbon fuel cells use hydrocarbon and alcohol. Also chemicals as chlorine and chlorine dioxide is used. Send us your questions to B+S+B! Learn how fuel cells work and why fuel cells are an interesting alternative.. |
