In the search engine “Google dictionary” the author announces, “Fuel cell: a cell producing an electric current directly from a chemical reaction.” Fuel cells were thought of in 1839 by Sir William Grove who was known as “Father of the Fuel Cell.” In the article “History of Fuel Cells” the author states, “ Sir William Grove discovered that it may be possible to generate electricity by reversing the electrolysis of water.” But it wasn’t until 1889 when two researchers looked further into Sir William Grove’s studies. In the article “History of Fuel Cells” the author says, “Charles Langer and Ludwig Mond, coined the term ‘fuel cell’ as they were trying to engineer the first practical fuel cell using air and coal gas.” After Langer and Mond’s discovery Frances Bacon developed what was close to being the first fuel cell in 1959. In the article “History of Fuel Cells” the author declares, “It was not until 1959 that Bacon and company first demonstrated a practical five-kilowatt fuel cell system.” In the late 1950’s NASA began experimenting with fuel cells by using them for compact electricity generators. Fuel cells have now supplied electricity for many space missions. In the article “History of Fuel Cells” the author states, “In more recent decades, a number of manufacturers - including major auto makers - and various federal agencies have supported ongoing research into the development of fuel cell technology for use in fuel cell vehicles (FCV) and other applications. Fuel cell energy is now expected to replace traditional power sources in coming years - from micro fuel cells to be used in cell phones to high-powered fuel cells for stock car racing.” Fuel cells help the environment by not producing harmful gasses that destroy th... ... middle of paper ... ...ww.sae.org/fuelcells/fuelcells-history.htm>.

The era of animal powered vehicles finally ended in around the eighteenth century when the first self-propelled road vehicle was invented by Nicolas Joseph Cugnot, a French engineer and mechanic, in 1769. In 1858, a new era in personal transportation was born when Belgian-born engineer Jean Lenoir invented the internal combustion engine. But it was not until 1908, when Henry Ford, the owner of Ford Motor Company introduces the Model T, the first affordable gasoline powered automobile that allowed the masses to own a personal automobile.
Figure 1 illustrates the design of the batteries discovered in ancient Persia. Fast forwarding to the 17th century, it was “in the year 1600, English Physician William Gilbert used the Latin word “electricus” to describe the force that certain substances exert when rubbed against each other” (Atkinson, 2014). Though Benjamin Franklin is largely accredited with the discovery of electricity, it was “Italian physicist Alessandro Volta [whom] discovered that particular chemical reactions could produce electricity” (Atkinson, 2014). In “1800, he constructed an early electric battery that produced a steady current” (Atinkson, 2014). To clarify, current is defined as the “rate at which charge flows through its surface” (Serway and Vuille, 2011). Volta ‘s battery was only the beginning. Michael Faraday made electricity more accessible when he “created the electric dynamo (a crude power generator)” (Atinkson, 2014). This invention “solved the problem of generating electric current in an ongoing and practical way” (Atinkson, 2014). Faraday’s solution helped Thomas Edison invent his famous light bulb because it was the “first practical bulb that would light for hours on end” (Atinkson, 2014). Edison is
Hydrogen would be one of the easiest sources of renewable energy to incorporate into our current energy infrastructure. Since hydrogen is a gas of normal temperature, it is possible to have it be used as a fuel in vehicles similar to current ones. For example, Hydrogen could be introduced into the vehicle as a gas, stored...

First of all the developer of this innovation was Nikola Tesla ; a Serbian- American Engineer and Physicist. His first project was the AC motor generator and the development of transmissional technology. His success with this lasted until he had an argument with his boss because of his mad scientist
