Fuel Cells Green Power - 3 PDH
Fuel cells are not just laboratory curiosities. While there is much work that needs to be done to optimize the fuel cell system (remember, the gasoline internal combustion engine is nearly 120 years old and still being improved), hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are on the road Ñ now. Commuters living in Chicago and Vancouver ride on fuel cell buses. You can take a ride around London in a fuel cell taxi and even compete in the American Tour de Sol on a fuel cell bicycle. Every major automobile manufacturer in the world is developing fuel cell vehicles. To understand why fuel cells have received such attention, we need to compare them to existing energy conversion technologies.
