Before we go into detail about my experiment, I would like to give a brief history about fuel cells. The Fuel cell was discovered by Sir William Grove 1839, who was doing research into the process of electrolysis, which we will discuss later. He used platinum as his electrodes (just like mine), and put the ends into sulfuric acid. He put the other two ends of the electrodes into separate containers of hydrogen and oxygen. Grove realized that there was a constant flow of energy, and the fuel cell was born. Over time, the fuel cell was improved, until finally, two scientists, by the names of Thomas Grubb and Leonard Niedrach teamed up with General Electric and NASA to create a completely fuel cell operated shuttle, call the Gemini project. Today, we have begun to apply the fuel cell science to cars, and BMW and other major car manufacturers have working fuel cell cars that run on hydrogen, and emit pure odourless water.
