Fuel cells
A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that generates electricity quietly and efficiently. Electricity is produced through an electrochemical process, rather than through combustion, and therefore creates no pollution. The device transforms hydrogen and oxygen into water, which then produces electricity. As opposed to a battery, a fuel cell never “dies” and never needs to be recharged, because as long as chemicals flow into the cell, electricity will flow out of it. Hydrogen fuel cells are the most common types of fuel cells. Fuel cells have been proposed for powering cars (Toyota), as well as computers and phones.
