Question:

Can a fuel cell built with simple homemade materials?

Disregarding battery technology, can a hydrogen, alcohol, or other interesting fuel cell be built with simple parts?Looking for interesting, and creative answers.Thanx

Answer:

Sort of. You'll need some parts from an Internet company, and some methanol (from Home Depot or whatever), but- yes, you can make a working fuel cell. See link below.

No. If we could, we'd all have them by now. Hydrogen is too volatile for any homemade materials. A fuel cell has to hold the fuel until it is needed and only release the amount needed, and it has to store it in such a way that it is compact and is not going to easily blow up. And hydrogen is really the only thing you'd use a 'fuel cell' for, because other fuels can be transported as liquids.
just copy the car battery, (carbon zinc submerge in acid) or just set that carbon zinc in the sun, connected
