The Open Fuel Cell Project
3D-printed fuel cells for schools, universities, businesses and everyone
About the Project
With the Open Fuel Cell Project we provide an open source construction plan for a simple fuel cell generating electricity from hydrogen gas.
Who we are
We are a group of scientists and engineers that share a passion for hydrogen technologies and believe in open sourcing to empower people and democratize technologies.
