ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTIONS

STUDENTS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING AT THE NED UNIVERSITY OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY BUILD THE FIRST ONBOARD FUEL-CELL VEHICLE OF PAKISTAN.

FUEL -CELL TECHNOLOGY has the potential to change the world. Why? Because it's a green technology and has better heat and power efficiency than the conventional internal combustion engine and other power generation sources.

The technology is not new to the world; it was invented by William Grove in 1839 based on the principle that was discovered by German scientist Christian Friedrich Schönbein in 1838. Later fuel-cell technology was developed step by step and, in 1959, the Project Gemini space mission launched by NASA was the first commercial use of a fuel cell. After this extensive research and development project, further work was carried out and is still in progress. Today, with energy and environment the main concerns of the world, this technology could lead the world to a new path.
