Hydrogen Fuel Cells & Energy Efficiency IB SL

Hydrogen Fuel Cell? Definition: Electrochemical cell that converts a source fuel into an electrical current. The fuel cell generates electricity through reactions between a fuel and an oxidant.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells A hydrogen fuel cell uses hydrogen as its fuel and oxygen as its oxidant. Its very similar to a battery but it has its differences. Discovered by Christian Firedrich Schönbien in 1838.

Benefits Reduction in burning of fuel cells. Improvement of air quality especially in urban areas. Reduction of greenhouse gases (global warming). Low noise and high power. Reduction in energy consumption (saving energy).

Problems Cost. Durability. Hydration. Delivery. Infrastructure. Storage. Safety.

Examples Vehicles. Bicycles. Rockets. Airplanes. Buses. Motorcycles. Scooters.

Hydrogen Automobile An alternative fuel vehicle which uses hydrogen as its fuel. Chemical energy in hydrogen is converted into mechanical energy. Funding comes from both private and government sources. Cost around $400,000. "It's still a ways away from commercialization"

BENEFITS Reduce greenhouse gases. Reduce dependency on oil. Technological development. PROBLEMS Expensive. Needs hydrogen gas stations. "A hydrogen car is one of the least efficient, most expensive ways to reduce greenhouse gases.“ U.S Department.

Ford edge hybrid-2007

The Evolution, General Motors

Hydrogen Rocket BENEFITS Highest effective exhaust velocity. Lower weight. Velocity change (lift off weight is less). Works well in upper stages. PROBLEMS Low density, needs insulation (weight).

Efficiency Dependent on the amount of power drawn from the fuel cell. For a hydrogen cell operating at standard conditions with no reactant leaks, the efficiency is equal to the cell voltage divided by 1.48 V, based on the reaction. The more current drawn, the lower the efficiency. The efficiency of a cell is almost proportional to its voltage. Do not operate in thermal cycle.

Activity From what you have just seen, answer the following questions... Design a poster for a hydrogen car promoting its benefits over the normal average everyday car. Come up with a campaign against the promotion of hydrogen as a renewable energy source.
