A Fuel Cell Directly Fueled With Jet Fuel or Gasoline
June 17, 2014 | 4 Comments
Washington State University (WSU) researchers have developed the first fuel cell that can directly convert jet fuel or gasoline to electricity. If the fuel cell will scale up economically that could take the 30 mpg automobile beyond 100 mpg. Its a dramatically more energy efficient way to create electric power for planes or cars. The […]
