Fuel cell production with manipulators ⁉️
Fuel cells work in a similar way to #batteries through chemical reactions between anode and cathode, in which #hydrogen and oxygen serve as reactants. Hydrogen is split into electrons and protons, with protons migrating through a membrane to the cathode side, while electrons pass through an external circuit to get to the cathode. 🔋💧 There they react with oxygen and protons to form water, releasing energy. This process produces about 1.2 volts per cell, similar to a small fl
