2. What is Fuel cell?
What are the uses of it?
Advantages of fuel cell
Difficulties in fuel cell
Alternate energy sources
Future scope of fuel cells
3. A fuel cell is a device that produces electricity
through a chemical reaction between fuel and
oxidant.
5. Zero emission.
Gives maximum efficiency.
Clean energy sources.
Gives high thermal efficiency.
Renewable energy source.
No environmental impact.
6. Most fuel cells operate silently, compared to
internal combustion engines.
Fuel cells can eliminate pollution caused by
burning fossil fuels.
Fuel cells have a higher efficiency than diesel or
gas engines.
7. Hydrogen does not exist by itself in nature. Energy
must be expended to separate it from other, more
complex materials.
Hydrogen is currently very expensive because it is
difficult to generate, handle and store.
It can’t be stored at moderate temperatures and
pressures in a tank containing a metal-hydride
absorber or carbon absorber.
8. 1. Electrolysis of water
2. Fossil fuel method
3. Ammonia process method
4. Ammonia branes method
5. Thermo chemical method
6. Photolytic method
7. Electrolytic method
9. NASA is the most famous supporter of hydrogen
fuel cells, this is because they use them to power
their rockets.
United States has produced 19.8 billion pounds
of hydrogen, this is enough hydrogen to power
20-30 million cars.
KSRTC is running their buses with fuel cell
vehicle.
