understanding and appreciation of fuel cells.Research Approach/StrategyAn Experimental Mechanics fuel cell project was proposed with the intention that the results beevolved into a useable undergraduate laboratory experiment for the Renewable Energy course.The course objectives for both courses had to be analyzed to determine whether this was afeasible approach. Efficiency measurement of a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cellwas chosen for three main reasons: hydrogen fuel cell equipment is commercially produced, theprice of a fuel cell was reasonable at approximately $150.00 for readily-available hydrogen PEMfuel cells, and PEM fuel cell safety is relatively easily managed in the laboratory setting.
