ok, did a search, didn't find anything so I've got a question for everyone. I am working on a project which I would like to use a fuel cell for. I would probably be running it straight off Hydrogen. I am making a hybrid system for my house and need something to charge batteries. I live in Michigan and its getting cloudier so solar is not as good as I would like. I have a wind generator, have yet to install as I need to machine a mount that would work better. I contacted
Heliocentris Energy Systems and am in communitcation with one of their reps. I am looking at a 300 watt cell, easily enough to charge for my application. What I am wondering is if anyone has had any experience with Hydrogen fuel cells or knows of any suppliars that I can get cells from directly. I have found ways to build my own, time consuming and I need to find a chemical supplyer. The cell I am looking at is about $7,500. I got a call today saying I won a federal grant, dont know how but I did so this price isn't worrying me but I would like to get one cheaper. I also am hoping to build one able to power my laptops off of for use a comps.
What do you think?
