LIQUID BASED FUEL CELL DESIGN POWERED BY ALGAE

The search for a Liquid Based Fuel Cell Design.

Hydrogen fuel cells are devices that recombine hydrogen and oxygen to form water while producing electricity. There are several different types of fuel cells that use different feed stocks including methanol which is another one of the alcohol family.

The problem with hydrogen fuel cells is that hydrogen itself is not a great energy carrier. At room temperature it is a gas and as such does not contain much energy. This means that in order to have a sufficient energy density to be used to produce acceptable electric currents, it needs to be cooled and compressed ( 10,000 psi or more ).
