Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car
Renewable EnergyFuel CellVehicle
Assignment
Construct a small vehicle powered by different power sources — a solar panel, a fuel cell, and a battery. Use electricity from the solar module to split hydrogen from oxygen and use the hydrogen as fuel.
What I learned
I applied my understanding of fuel cells to a real-world vehicle build. I also learned that either the solar panel or hydrogen fuel cell could power the car individually — both did not need to be active at once.
Improvements & reflection
Due to a shortage of time, we couldn't properly attach the hydrogen fuel cell to the chassis. It kept falling off during runs. A better mount would have kept the whole vehicle secure and stable.
