Fuel Cell Mechanism

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A fuel cell generates current from a redox reaction between continuously supplied reactants, functioning as long as fuel and oxidant are resupplied, unlike a battery's fixed supply.

Show

A hydrogen fuel cell consumes hydrogen and oxygen fed in continuously, producing water and current.

Watch for

A fuel cell is not a battery with unlimited charge — it needs continuous external reactant supply.
