How to make a hydrogen fuel cell power generator

Hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements in the universe and is one of the key low carbon fuels being considered for future energy and transport systems. This video covers how you can make a hydrogen fuel cell power generator, covering what is a fuel cell, the balance of plant system, how we can hybridise this with supercapacitors to increase efficiency and the system performance of the passive hybrid configuration.

This 9.5 kW fuel cell system which was passively hybridised with 33 1500 F Maxwell supercapacitors was used as a demonstrator of low carbon electricity generation and was used to power a band and disco ball at outreach events including the BBC and Blue Peter.

This work is based on our 2014 paper on "Design and testing of a 9.5 kWe proton exchange membrane fuel cell–supercapacitor passive hybrid system" in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy. Link to paper below.
