Building Fuel Cells from Kits?

Posted by Cliff on from the building-21st-century-batteries dept.

ItsMr.Data asks: "I am looking for a model fuel cell. After checking many web sites, and this one seems to have the best selection. I am wondering if, due to the high cost of the kits, any Slashdot readers have ever built their own fuel cells. I would also like to know if any readers have found any good resellers of kits and supplies."

    We did some experiments with a fuel cell from Heliocentris. The fuel cell itself was pretty cool. (We had the one with 20 W max. power) Problem is that the prices are pretty hefty and you usually get the fuel cell only, so you have to come up with some way to supply hydrogen etc. Playing with hydrogen also is not a thing I would try at home. Besides, I'm not sure they sell to end-customers. But contacting them may be worth a try... Good luck!
