Abstract

A fuel cell is an effective tool for extracting chemical energy from a special type of gaseous fuel other than fossil fuels. It is expected to be a replacement for thermal engines and rechargeable batteries within the next few years as they are emission-free and not subjected to Carnot restrictions. The fuel cell can be manufactured in different sizes depending on the amount of energy required, where it can be too small to be used in precision equipment or large enough to work as electrical stations. This proposal shows a demonstration of the principle of work involved in the fuel cells, structure components, and practice ideas to enhance the output power.
