I'm wondering what are the similarities between modern fuel cell technology and the energy production of mitochondria under the electron transport system? Thank you. Basically… Briefly, mitochondria are minute energy-producing structures in our cells, and fuel cells also produce energy. Wikipedia says fuel cells are open systems that convert chemical energy into electrical energy; and batteries are not fuel cells, because they are closed systems that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Mitochondria use chemical energy ["food"] to produce electrical energy. Scientists are working on using bacteria to produce electrical energy as living fuel cells for powering useful devices. Note that 'cells' has 2 very different meanings here. In one meaning, cells are the living compartments found in all living organisms. In the other meaning, cells are devices that produce power – batteries or fuel cells or mitochondrial fuel cells or bacterial fuel cells. Bacteria are cells – living compartments -, and they behave in some ways as fuel cells.

Www. Hhogaskitwizard. Com With all the talk about going green. Now anyone one can do so with the recent hydrogen fuel cell technology. Http

I understand the exhaust gas will be water. Surely this is good for pollution? We will not then have concerns over CO2 emmissions and thereby taxes can be reduced to benefit the working man. This would mean that fossil fuels can then be reserved for and better utilised by those industries that cannot do without them, in the medium to long term. This should ease demand and there the price should fall or stabilise. Am I being too logical. Well, I have your answer right here. Because the Oil companies have huge lobbying power and the Govt gets masses of taxes from oil companies. . Most of the share index is made up of oil companies, which is why the FT index is rising. . So there is little incentive. . Also the hydrogen itself has to be made, and there is cost and pollution in that. . But eventually it will have to come and indeed will, but we have not reached the critical tipping point yet.

Meaning, can we drink the water that is produced as a by-product of hydrogen fuel cells? I have been informed that all of the parts of a H2 engine are comprised of stainless steel. Do you know what I found? As long as the pipes and the container the steam condenses in is clean and not made of lead then yes. It will be pure water. Even more pure than most bottled water.

The first ever production FCX Clarity Honda’s advanced hydrogen fuel cell car came off the line in Japan today (Monday, 16 June). After 19 years of development, this ‘real world’ fuel cell car marks the beginning of a new era of cleaner motoring. The FCX Clarity – which emits only water from its exhaust pipe – was presented to three of the first US customers in a line-off ceremony at the world’s first dedicated fuel cell vehicle factory: the Honda Automobile New Model Centre (Takanezawa-machi, Shioya-gun, Tochigi Prefecture).
