Site of the Day for Tuesday, August 14, 2001 Fuel Cells 2000 Energy supply of the future? This is a practical site intent on conveying to the public the principles and advantages of fuel cell usage as they become more sophisticated and available. "What Is A Fuel Cell? In principle, a fuel cell operates like a battery. Unlike a battery, a fuel cell does not run down or require recharging. It will produce energy in the form of electricity and heat as long as fuel is supplied. A fuel cell consists of two electrodes sandwiched around an electrolyte. Oxygen passes over one electrode and hydrogen over the other, generating electricity, water and heat." - from the website So now you know but there's a great deal more at this non-profit group's website to bring you up to speed on a technology whose time may come. If and when it does, fuel cells may usher an era of energy producing systems with non-polluting by-products. http://216.51.18.233/index_e.html A.M.
