The Uses of Fuel Cells
An Alternative Energy Solution
It is a well known fact that fuel cells are a potential alternative to the internal combustion engine. In fact, even though fuel cells are still in their pilot stages of development, many car manufacturers have prototype vehicles that operate on fuel cells. The application of fuel cells is, however, far wider than [...]
Fuel Cells, an Alternative Energy Source to Power our Nation
What are fuel cells?
Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that combine hydrogen and oxygen in order to produce electricity.
During the power generation cycle, water and heat are produced as a by-products. This is a far more ideal byproduct than the unclean emissions which are created by other methods of generating electricity.
Fuel Cells will operate and generate power so long [...]
Photovoltaic Cells
As the world advances, new technologies arise – or, in some cases, older technologies are exhumed and improved upon.
Although most people are under the impression that the field of photovoltaics is a new subject, based on recent invention, this is not actually the case. But first of all lets take a look at what “photovoltaic” means.
The word “photovoltaics” can [...]
Solar Cells
A “solar cell” is a device which changes sunlight into electricity. More technically, a solar cell is also referred to as a “photovoltaic cell.”
The term “photo” derives from the Greek word for “light,” and the term “voltaic” comes from the word “volt” which means “electrical force.” A “cell” is a small receptacle or container containing electrodes [...]
