Edmund Scientific recently asked me to review some products for them, so the first item I picked was one I’ve had my eye on for years: a hydrogen fuel cell model car. Recently I wrote an article about advances in fuel cell catalyst technology, so fuel cells are an interest of mine that may one [...]
Fuel cell devices directly convert chemical energy into electricity by electrochemical reactions, and have received recent interest due to their lack of moving parts and relatively clean operation. Various types of fuel cells are currently discussed in the scientific literature, though polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) show characteristics that would make them suitable for automobile [...]
