How fuel cells work


A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that combines hydrogen fuel and oxygen from the air to produce electricity, heat and water. Fuel cells operate without combustion, so they are virtually pollution-free. Since the fuel is converted directly to electricity and heat, a fuel cell's total system efficiency can be much higher than internal combustion engines, extracting more energy from the same amount of fuel. The fuel cell itself has no moving parts — making it a quiet and reliable source of power.
