Fuel Cells - How they work and Advantages

Electrochemical extraction of energy from hydrogen using fuel cells is a very highly approved, clean and efficient method of meeting our power needs. It must however be noted that regarding the concept of the hydrogen vehicle, burning/combustion of hydrogen in an internal combustion engine (IC/ICE) is often confused with the electrochemical process of generating electricity […]

Carbon-Neutral Hydrogen From Microbes

If you remember your high school science lessons, you probably have an idea about how expensive producing hydrogen can be for producing water the unconventional way. Consider that cost and add the amount of electrical energy required to produce the same and I don’t have to tell you the final outcome will not be worth […]

Fuel Cells - An Overview

Fuel cells as the name suggest are devices which produce electricity. They are similar to battery in the way that the chemical composition in a battery is carried by a fuel cell too. The difference lies in the restructured pattern of a fuel cell and subsequently a modified chemical reaction, quite different from a conventional […]
