Description
A fuel cell using the hydrogen+oxygen=water chemical reaction. Conversion of the gases to water produces direct current electricity, with the water produced being collected in a secondary chamber for conversion back into constituent gases via external electrolysis. Waste heat is captured thermoelectrically as an additional power supply. Highly durable and environment-friendly, but eventual failure through heat loss and filament decay, plus a comparatively low power output, means such cells are used only in portable electronic devices and for backup power.
