FUEL CELL - BASICS
What IS A FUEL CELL?
A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction of positively charged hydrogen ions with oxygen or another oxidizing agent. Fuel cells are different from batteries that requires a continuous source of fuel and oxygen or air to sustain the chemical reaction. Fuel cells can produce electricity continuously as long as these inputs are supplied.
