Harnessing Energy: PEM Fuel Cell Technology
Powering the Future: A Deep Dive into PEM Fuel Cells Imagine a world where cars run on water, buildings generate their own clean energy, and our dependence on fossil fuels is a distant memory. This future isn't a fantasy; it's within reach thanks to a revolutionary technology known as Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells. What are PEM Fuel Cells? At its core, a PEM fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts chemical energy directly into electricity. Unlike traditional combustion engines which generate power through burning fuel, PEM fuel cells utilize a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, water vapor, and heat. The "PEM" in the name refers to the heart of the technology: a thin...
