Fuel Cell Bicycle

The School of Engineering’s Fuel Cell Application Centre (FAC) has developed a motorised bicycle powered by fuel cells, making use of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology. Oxygen and hydrogen from the surrounding air are converted into electrical energy through a chemical reaction that occurs in the fuel cell stack. As a result, the bicycle is
powered up and there is no gas emission since the by product of fuel cells is water.


Key Features

 

  • Achieves heat exchange between the Fuel Cell Stack and Hydrogen Cylinder

  • Stores excess energy and provides peak power when needed, using an ultra capacitor

  • Displays and monitors operational status of the bicycle

  • Provides high power density and table voltage output

  • Is environmentally friendly and durable
