A very important feature of our mini fuel cell is that a very wide range of fuels can be used, and no hydrogen is needed. It is very easy to use indeed it has been specifically designed for use by children and students. When using methanol or ethanol as the fuel it produces enough current to show the principle of fuel cell operation.
If, NaBH4 (sodium tetrahydridoborate) is used as the fuel, then much greater power is obtained, and the performance exceeds similar size PEM fuel cells. For its size, it is very powerful, and it will easily drive small electric motors. Through a DC/DC converter it can drive small radios, tape players and the like. The mini fuel cell is very simple and easy to use.
It consists of two components, a red cathode, and a beaker-like anode. These are shown, partly separated, above.
