advances require more efficient sources of power. At the forefront of research for these power sources are hydrogen fuel cells. This power source takes in the most abundant element in the universe‚ Hydrogen‚ and yields immense power without combustion or pollution. The three aspects of this scientific breakthrough are the fuel cells‚ hydrogen production‚ and hydrogen storage. Fuel cells are the devices with which Hydrogen is made into electricity. These use a technology much similar to that of
