Hydrogen and fuel cells - a perfect combination

In this chapter we learn the basic facts of fuel cells. What for we need fuel cells, how they work and what is already reality.

Fuel cells gives us a very efficient way to produce electric power and heat. In the whole circle of renewable energies they are the final element. The sun provides energy, solar cells or wind power catch it for us, hydrogen is the storage and the medium to transport the energy and the fuel cells generate the energy whenever and whereever it is needed.

If we get into our car, if we need heat and electricity at home or if we just listen music on our walkmen. The energy could be provided by a fuel cell.
