The U.S. Army is currently exploring the idea of using fuel cell technology to bring additional electrical power to the M1 Abrams battle tank. The idea is simple: an on-board fuel cell would take ...
The Fuel Cell as a Chemical Reactor The dynamic response of fuel cells is essential for transportation applications where the power demand will need to respond to variable loads. We have developed a ...
Here's what happens in the fuel cell: When hydrogen gas pumped from the fuel tanks arrives at the anode, which is made of platinum, the platinum catalyzes a reaction that ionizes the gas.
