Can you get one to last forever? I'm looking for getting costs down as much as possible, and efficiency of monetary resources as high up as possible.I hear they break.What if I use low volumes of H2 gas to react with the fuel cell, wouldn't it be more longer lasting?What are some good resources of reference to learn more about Hydrogen fuel cells, both basic and advanced?
I don't think that using low volumes of H2 gaz will help us to increase the lifespan of hydrogen fuel cell but i think the mean problem now is in how can we use the constitution relation of water: H2 + 1/2 O2 --- H2O, inside of the fuel cell in a reversible way thereby we can produce H2 from the water we have in the end of the normal reaction wich we'll use to make a closed cycle inside of the fuel cell of hydrogen (i mean autoalimentation). One day when this will come true, i think the lifespan of the hydrogen fuel cell will be more longer than what it's now days.
2000 hours for on and off operations on a P.E.M. Fuel cell. Double that, perhaps more for continuous operation.
