Featuring 221 pages packed with over 140 illustrations and templates, it demystifies hydrogen fuel technology and includes instructions for building electrolyzers and solar-powered setups. Perfect for those seeking practical, low-tech solutions to renewable energy innovation. ## Description The technology of the future is here today - and now available to the non-engineer! Build Your Own Fuel Cells contains complete, easy to understand illustrated instructions for building several types of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells - and, templates for 6 PEM fuel cell types, including convection fuel cells and oxygen-hydrogen fuel cells, in both single slice and stacks. Low tech/high quality Two different low-tech fuel cell construction methods are covered: one requires a bandsaw and drill press, and the other only a few hand tools. Anyone with minimum skills and tools will be able to produce high quality fuel cells from readily obtainable materials - contact info for materials suppliers is included. Electrolyzers and MEAs Build Your Own Fuel Cells includes a detailed discussion of building a lab electrolyzer to generate hydrogen to run fuel cells - and templates for the electrolyzer. Also covered is setting up a PV solar panel to power the electrolyzer, and experimental low-tech methods for producing membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs - the heart of the fuel cell). Build Your Own Fuel Cells , 221 pages, over 140 B&W photos and illustrations, including 39 templates. Review: Author: Phillip Hurley - This is the definitive book that all should have in their personal library. Phillip Hurley takes you step by step to energy independence. No fluff here. Well written and thought out and well documented with illustrations and photos. All one needs to know is how operate a soldering iron. Low tech teaching method with high tech results. Want to slash those energy bills? Buy ALL of his books. Not one contains any disappointment. Ed Rivera Review: I built a fuel cell thanks to this book! - This book is fantastic DIY help for fuel cell experimenters. I was able to successfully build a fuel cell using the instructions in this book. I have some helpful tips for people attempting to build the cell. The exacto saw is not the way to go when cutting the end plates. Use straight cut tin snips instead. Be careful if using the liquid electrical tape, because if you put too much on towards the bottom of the screw you won't be able to get the wingnuts on. I was a little confused when preparing the rubber gasket. Suffice it to say just cut the mylar surrounds and the rubber gasket together as a sandwich and you will have all three pieces. Other than that the book was essential in producing a hand made fuel cell. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,297,875 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #275 in Alternative & Renewable Energy | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 115 Reviews | ## Images ![Build Your Own Fuel Cells - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NALJwqFeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Author: Phillip Hurley *by E***A on June 15, 2014* This is the definitive book that all should have in their personal library.
