Introduction to Fuel Cells

The Stone Age didn t end because they ran out of stones—but as a result of competition from the bronze tools, which better met people s needs. I feel there s something in the air—people are ready to say that this is something we should do.

The aim of this chapter has been to provide a basic introduction to fuel cell technology and a number of other appUcation areas not covered in the remainder of this book. The main points to take away are that there are a number of fuel cell stack technologies under development, each with applications areas that are more suited to than others. To wait to see if one type becomes dominant in an application closing the market for others will take a long time as to date there are no signs of this happening. Apart from the main six types we may see some of the less mainstream fuel cell types breakthrough into a more commercially orientated phase.
