Chemical Hydrogen Fuel Cell animation: This animation shows the process that goes on inside an individual fuel cell. The red Hs represent hydrogen molecules (H2) from a hydrogen storage tank. The orange H+ represents a hydrogen ion after it's electron is removed. The yellow e- represents an electron moving through a circuit to do work (like lighting a light bulb or powering a car). The green Os represent an oxygen molecule (O2) from the air, and the blue drops at the end are for pure water--the only byproduct of hydrogen power.

Wave Energy Convertor: The energy generated from waves is harnessed by deploying wave energy convertors on the surface of the ocean. When a wave hits these convertors, the convertors convert the force of the wave into energy and feed it into a generator.
