The Solar-Hydrogen Innovation Concept Fuel Cell Car This fuel cell car works in a two-step process. First, the fuel cell splits water into hydrogen and oxygen and those gases are stored in tanks. When the electric motor is connected to the fuel cell, the fuel cell combines those two gases into water, which produces electricity to run the motor. We can also use our car to investigate other alternative electric car concepts.

Chapter 4 Experiment 5 Experiment: Hydrogen Generation Production of Fuel with Battery Current W hen the sun is not shining, you can also produce fuel with battery power. Do It! Produce Fuel with Battery Power Note: The distilled water is pictured here in blue so you can see it more clearly. · Connect the red battery terminal to the red oxygen O socket of the fuel cell. 2 · Connect the black battery terminal to the black hydrogen H socket.
Chapter 9 Theory Structure and Function of a Solar Cell Doping the Silicon To create solar cells from the highly pure silicon wafers, they have to be somewhat “impurified” again. This process is known as doping. It involves vapor-deposition of tiny doses of pure elemental phosphorus on one surface of the wafer, and boron on the other surface. The proportion of these doping elements to the silicon is about equivalent to one drop of water in a swimming pool.
Measurements Tests Solar Panel Voltage To determine the power of the solar panel, we will measure the short circuit voltage on the V= side of the multimeter in measurement range 20 (Figure 2). The voltage will vary depending on the strength of the light hitting it, but it should be about 2.8 volts.
