The fuel cell's only by-products are heat and waterwhen it is fueled using pure hydrogen gas (produced by electrolysis). In order to functionproperly, the membrane must be a special material capable of conducting hydrogen ions(protons) but not water molecules or electrons as this would “short circuit” the fuel cell.The developed experiment investigates the relationship between voltage, current andpower output for a PEM fuel cell, the effect that an electrical load (resistance) has on theaverage fuel cell voltage, current, power and hydrogen consumption rate, and the energyefficiency of the fuel cell.

This provides students with more flexibility inboth place and time and reduces the campus infrastructure needs. In many disciplines, however, the expositive material typically provided on line is notsufficient to support the complete learning experience. In disciplines such as engineering there isoften a need to develop practical experience as a key to becoming an effective professional2. Inorder to address this need we have developed a distributed laboratory to complement andenhance the delivery of on-line courses on the topic of control engineering3. This laboratory isexpected to serve as a paradigm for the development of analogous on-line

In their description of the experience, Killingsworth etal. [9] described the development of integrated activities between English and constructionmanagement. In addition, the researchers performed a pre and post survey to the co-taughtcourses and verified that by the end of the course students considered themselves better writers,though other survey results were not significant. Finally, benefits and challenges of theimplementation of the shared course echoed previous research: benefits were that studentsappreciated the improved cohesiveness between the technical (materials and methods) and thenon-technical class (English

The twomost common methods to mechanically drill a well are augering and mud-rotary drilling.Augering involves using either a solid-stem (similar to a large diameter drill bit) or ahollow-stem (similar to corkscrew constructed around a hollow pipe) auger to create thehole in the subsurface. Because of the large amount of torque necessary to turn the augerthrough the substrata, augering does not readily lend itself for use in small, portable drillrigs. The main advantage of augering, especially hollow-stem augering, is that it isrelatively easy to keep the hole open in cohesionless material such as sand and gravel.A mud rotary drilling process is also used to drill wells. A mud rotary system is relativelyinexpensive, mobile
