In a fact, the step of hydrogen fuel cell is same with battery, but the difference is the
battery must always recharge when the energy is low, while fuel cell just fill it up with the
many hydrogen form. This is very simple and we never bring many cable every where.
But this techonoly still have disadvantages. The advantages are :
1. Fossil fuels are still needed. In order to separate the atoms of the hydrogen and
oxygen and actually generate hydrogen fuel, fossil fuels are needed. This
completely defeats the purpose of an alternative energy source. If we ran out of
fossil fuels we would no longer be able to produce hydrogen energy.
2. Costly to produce. One of the biggest pitfalls of hydrogen fuel cells is the simple
fact that it is very expensive to produce. As of now, the energy is not efficient
enough to produce hydrogen energy in a cost effective way.
3. Flammable! While it may not be toxic, it sure is flammable. The source of the
hazard comes from the hydrogen itself, which is very prone to catching on fire, or
even exploding. This would add unnecessarily and new risks into society.
4. Much work to be done. The use of fuel cells is very new, and quite a bit of
advancement and research still needs to be done before it can be used on a wide
scale basis. The plausibility of its use isnt even fully known yet, and many
people believe it is just a fairy tale.
5. Cells cant hold much. The actual cells that the hydrogen energy is stored in can
store only a small amount of power. This makes the process of maintaining
reliable power sources with the use of hydrogen fuel cells very unlikely.
CONCLUSION
From this article, we know that hydrogen fuel cell is a new technology and then this is
big step to the new technology era in our life. If this technology is successfully to developed,
this technology have many advantages for our life. We can reduce the level of pollution in our
earth. And more, we can replace fossil fuels wich is natural resource that can not regenerate
with hydrogen fuel which is regenerate natural resource. The next advantages is cheap,
hydrogen can we found in everywhere as water and we can take them with free cost. But, as
we know that hydrogen fuel technology still have disadvantages. The disadvantages are fossil
fuels are still needed, costly to produce, flammable, much work to be done, cells cant hold
much. So, we must to develop and make research this technology much more.
