EarthToys.com, is a fantastic resource for those interested in alternative energy, green building, and all manner of things green. Their newsletter has articles written by some of the alternative energy movement’s greatest innovators. I was happy to find a great article about fuel cells in their April newsletter. The article helped me get a grasp on some concepts that were troubling me about fuel cells and how they work, and that is exactly what it’s intended to do:
With the current debates over energy, more people are aware of the benefits and potential applications of fuel cells. However, few would be able to describe the basic chemistry differentiating the application, power output and energy efficiencies of the various types of fuel cells; much less the unique challenges each face. Hence, a simple lesson in fuel cells is in order.
This is a clear and concise discussion about fuel cells for those looking to clarify some of the more confusing aspects about a technology that is sure to dramatically change the way we live.
