Fuel Cell Technology Explained – Using Ethanol For A Cleaner Earth

No Comments, Article, by .

The research towards finding an ethanol fuel generator has reached a promising stage. The basis of this research is fuel cell technology. A fuel cell works just like a battery by electrochemically combining hydrogen and oxygen without combustion, to generate electricity. A battery cell requires charging or may drain off after prolonged use. But a fuel cell will continue producing electricity so long as the fuel is continued to be supplied.

The mechanics of a fuel cell include two electrodes sandwiched between an electrolyte. When oxygen is passed over one electrode and hydrogen is Read more
