3 Background An Introduction to the Fuel Cell The ability to produce power without damaging the environment is a continuing challenge. Fossil fuels like gasoline, natural gas and coal all come from non-renewable sources and when burned, they increase the levels of air pollution and may harm the environment. Batteries, such as those found in flashlights and MP3 players, have limited lifetimes and often end up being disposed of in landfills which over time leach hazardous chemicals into the earth. There are many environmentally friendly alternatives available today, such as solar, wind, geothermal and hydroelectric power. These power sources often depend on a power grid for the distribution of electricity. Fuel cells however are different. They have near-zero emissions, are quiet and effcient, can work in almost any environment and do not need a grid for distribution. It can also operate in a temperature that is lower than the cell s normal operating temperature. MUSEUM IN A BOX (Photo courtesy of A fuel cell combines a fuel, such as hydrogen, with an oxidizer (oxygen) to produce electrical power. It works in a similar way to a battery but it never runs down or needs to be recharged. Like a battery which has a positive and negative end, a fuel cell has two electrodes: the positive (cathode) and the negative (anode), both of which are separated by an electrolyte, similar to the gel in a standard battery. With the battery however, one of the electrodes is slowly eroded as electricity is produced whereas in a fuel cell, the electrode is not. This means the cell can produce electricity for as long as fuel and oxidizer are available. NASA s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio has been at the center of NASA s fuel cell research and development since It helped to develop the fuel cells that were the primary source of power on the Space Shuttle fleet as well as develop fuel cells for electric vehicles and energy-storage systems. Fuel cells may soon be seen in many areas of our lives. For example, they may replace the auxiliary power unit (APU) on commercial aircraft, which provides electricity when the engines are not operating. They could also be used in cars or personal electronics. They are even being considered for use on future missions to Mars and beyond. Much work must still be done before fuel cells can be used in long range spacecraft, primarily because of the need to operate in extreme low pressure environments and low temperatures for extended durations. When perfected though, the technology will enable new space exploration as well as provide fuel savings, quieter operation and reduced environmental emissions. For further information on the design, physics and operation of the hydrogen fuel cell, please refer to page 78 in the Thames & Kosmos Fuel Cell Lab Manual included in the Museum in a Box. 3
4 MUSEUM IN A BOX Activity 1 GRADES 5-12 Materials: In the Box Thames & Kosmos Fuel Cell Car & Experiment Kit Safety goggles (1 pair) Philips head screwdriver Small knife or scissors Metric ruler Provided by User Sunlight / lamp Distilled water Worksheets None Reference Materials None Fuel Cell Car Demonstration Time Requirements: 1 hour Objective: Students will discover how a hydrogen fuel cell can power a small car. Activity Overview: By observing this demonstration, students will learn how water is converted into its elemental components using solar electricity and a fuel cell. They will also learn how the same fuel cell creates electricity by converting hydrogen and oxygen into water. Activity: Caution: The fuel cell kit contains many small, easily breakable parts. It is important to exercise caution during both the setup and the demonstration. Caution: At no time should the fuel cell be disassembled. It contains a very delicate Nafion foil plate which WILL be destroyed unless opened in laboratory conditions. WARNING: The fuel cell used in this kit creates hydrogen, a highly explosive gas. While the kit cannot produce enough gas to create a large explosion, care must be taken to avoid working near heat sources or open flames. Before starting this demonstration, read ALL of the safety information contained on pages 3 and 41 of the Thames & Kosmos Fuel Cell Lab Manual included in the Museum in a Box. Key Terms: H 2 O Electrolysis Fuel cell The kit will require time to build and charge prior to the demonstration. It takes approximately 30 minutes to assemble the vehicle itself, with an additional 30 minutes required to charge the gas tanks and demonstrate the vehicle moving.

5 Assemble the car as follows: a. Pass a metal axle through the holes in the rear of the body and attach a wheel to each end. b. Attach a wheel to each end of the axle on the motor assembly. MUSEUM IN A BOX c. Attach the motor assembly to the body of the car using the Phillips screw and spacer. d. If necessary, cut the rubber hose into the following lengths: 1 of 6cm, 2 of 5cm, 2 of 17cm. It is important to be accurate when cutting the hose. 5
6 MUSEUM IN A BOX e. Plug one end of each of the 5cm hoses using the red plugs provided. f. Plug one end of each of the 17cm hoses using the transparent plugs provided. g. Insert the fuel cell into the slot provided in the car, ensuring that the red side is facing the right side of the car. h. Place one end of the red wire into the hole in the red side of the fuel cell; insert the other end of the wire into the hole next to it on the body of the car. Do the same with the black wire on the opposite side. 6
7 i. Pass the 17cm hoses (with transparent plugs) through the bottom of the gas tanks and pull until each transparent plug is firmly secured in the hole at the top of the tank. j. Attach the hose from the larger tank to the port on the bottom of the red side of the fuel cell, while the hose from the smaller tank connects on the opposite side. Attach the 5cm hoses to the top ports. You will notice that the fuel cell has a red and a blue side. The red side is referred to in the Thames & Kosmos Fuel Cell Lab Manual as the Hydrogen side, while the blue side is the Oxygen side. MUSEUM IN A BOX k. Place the gas tank assembly into the carrier on the back of the car, ensuring that the hydrogen tank (the larger tank) is on the right side of the vehicle. l. Carefully pour distilled water into the water tank on the back of the vehicle, filling it full. It is important to ONLY use distilled water. Regular tap water contains minerals which will damage the fuel cell. 7
8 MUSEUM IN A BOX m. Remove the red plug from the end of one of the short 5cm hoses and then carefully insert the tip of the syringe into the end of the hose. This will be a snug fit. Next, slowly draw backwards on the plunger to pull water from the tank into the fuel cell. Caution: Do not let the tank fully empty. The purpose of this step is to remove all air from the system! It may be necessary to disconnect the syringe, push forwards on the plunger to empty it and then reconnect more than once to fully draw all the air out of the fuel cell. n. Once the syringe has filled with water, disconnect and immediately reconnect the red plug. It may help to pinch the tube to prevent air from re-entering the system. o. Repeat the process on the other side of the fuel cell. By this stage, you have a completely assembled car that is ready to use. The remaining steps will convert the water into its individual components of hydrogen and oxygen, then convert them back into water, generating electricity in the process. It may be beneficial for the students to start the demonstration at this point, which will take an additional 30 minutes to complete. As you complete each step, explain what is happening to the students. 8
9 1. Use the assembled fuel cell car as follows to demonstrate to the students how the fuel cell generates electricity: a. Connect the wires of the solar panel to the car, ensuring that the red wire connects to the red side, the black wire to the black side. Place the assembly under a lamp, or near a sunny window. There is no need to mount the solar panel to the car. Once the wires to the solar panel are connected, electricity is powering the fuel cell, converting the water into its base elements, hydrogen and oxygen. This separation of hydrogen and oxygen is called electrolysis. It takes approximately 15 minutes for the fuel cell to fill the gas tanks completely, at which time you can move on to the next step. MUSEUM IN A BOX b. Disconnect the solar panel and set it to one side. It is likely that your students are already familiar with solar power. Therefore it is important to demonstrate that it is completely detached and no longer producing electricity. c. Attach the wires from the motor to the plug holes in the body. Connect the red wire to the right side of the car, the black wire to the left. At this point the fuel cell begins to work in the opposite direction, taking the hydrogen and oxygen gases and converting them back into water. As this happens, electricity is produced which powers the motor. d. Place the car on the ground and let it go! 9
10 MUSEUM IN A BOX Discussion Points: 1. What just happened? The fuel cell is a two-way device; it can either produce gas from water, or water from gas. In step (2a), we used the fuel cell to convert water, or H 2 O, into its base elements, hydrogen and oxygen, which were stored in the tanks on the back of the car. After disconnecting the solar panel, which provided the source of electricity needed to power the conversion, the production of gas stopped and the fuel cell started to consume gas instead. As the cell converted the gases back into H 2 O, it also produced electricity, which then powered the motor in the car. 2. What does H 2 O mean? H 2 O is the chemical formula for the compound we commonly call water. In the case of distilled water, each molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Every substance can be described this way. For example, table salt is NaCl, or one part Sodium (Na) to one part Chlorine (Cl). 3. Why does the water have to be distilled? What does that mean? Think of a typical bottle of spring water. It says right on the label that it contains minerals which are important to health, which is true. Unfortunately, what is good for humans and animals isn t good for fuel cells. Minerals, which are very small crystals found in drinking water, clog the fuel cell and prevent it from working. Distilling is a process where a liquid, water in our case, is heated to the point of evaporation (steam). That steam is collected on a cooled surface where it condenses again back into liquid water. This is the distilled water that can be used by the fuel cell. As the mineral crystals could not be carried in the steam, the distilled water is 100% pure H 2 O, with no additional minerals. 10
