Fuel Cell - tonakis2108 - 10-18-2015
For those who don't know what a Fuel Cell is, it's a machine in general terms that converts Chemical Energy into Electric Energy or Thermal by burning hydrogen.
I've recently had the idea to make a small Fuel Cell for a school project and maybe upgrade it when I get my degree, do you think this innovative technology has a future? Can a fuel cell produce enough energy to even fill a cell phone's battery?

I'm to too sure about phone battery, possibly but maybe you could im not too sure.

Well Hydrogen can produce a lot of energy but that depends on the chemical reaction to hydrolyses and to the catalyst used. Not to mention Hydrogen is a very small particle that it's really hard to contain.

It could charge your battery but probably not fully and it would take a few hours.

Sure it would, but that has probably to do with the catalyst used.

if there's a way to make the fuel cells cheap to produce and a way to effectively produce hydrogen then yes i think the fuel cell would have a future in the modern world

I saw quite a few modern uses of hydrogen I don't know about cheap but i saw a small fuel cell to recharge mobile devices.
One the many examples I found online is this:

Seems legit and cheap.

Good luck with that!

thanks!, i'll make it as small as it needs to be, however, do you know how to use hydrogen from the bottle to produce energy?
and I mean electrical energy so I can measure it.
