Question:

Brown Spots in Hydrogen Fuel Cell?

I bought a hydrogen fuel cell toy car kit, and the fuel cell has about 3 small brown spots on the side where the oxygen is being produced. Why? and how do i clean it?

Answer:

Fuel cell cars will probably be out sooner. No need to have pure hydrogen in storage. Some fuel cells can split the hydrogen off of easily obtainable hydrocarbons like methane or LPG. Since fuel cells are more than twice as efficient as internal combustion engines people will wonder how we ever got along with just having a 400 or so mile range before having to refuel.
Well if the toy car kit is made out of iron, and oxygen hits it, it will lead to rust, if thats what it is. The way to clean it would be to scrub it off or to get some anti rust put on it. Anymore info just email me. Thanks and Peace.
