INTRODUCTION
Why do we use fuel cell? What is a fuel cell? Main types of fuel cells
A fuel cell
Some data
Fuel used
Gasoline generated propellant H2 fuel cell
0.25 lb
0.00 lb
Its energy density is >500w-hr/kg. Hydrogen has 52 times greater buoyancy than gasoline. Its diffusion coeff. Is 12.2 times greater than gasoline.
Present work
NASAs works MITs research
Fast track work is going on for development of better fuel cells. A Fuel cell has recently been developed for use in automobiles.
Future expectations
To make good fuel cells for futures manned space programs. To increase its efficiency. To reduce cost. To develop fuel cells which can take ISRO far ahead than others in this field.
