If the source of fuel for the fuel cell is changed, then the amount of energy produced from the fuel cell will change. I think that the distilled water will be the most efficient, and will create the most energy, because there are only hydrogen and oxygen atoms with very few impurities. I believe that the water with other chemicals, or impurities such as the tap water, salt water, and vinegar water will perform worse the hydrogen and oxygen atoms might have a difficult time getting to the two electrodes (the platinum coated nickel wire) due to the high concentration of other molecules such as sodium and chloride.
