The core idea behind the Open Fuel Cell is to unleash your creativity when it comes to modifying individual components—or even redesigning them entirely to

Corrosion is one of the major threads endangering the fuel cell. Unlike, for example, a car—where the danger is a hole slowly corroded into a

Some people like to kick off their weekend with a beer in hand. Others prefer assembling 40 fuel cells. Why not both? Call it a

Today is the first Open Fuel Cell Meeting after I started working at ZBT. So I was able to pick up Leander and Frauke from

Livia and Roland are on vacation; so there is only a small Open Fuel Cell team meeting. We meet at the Chair of Energy Technology.

We meet again at May 9, this time at the NanoEnergieTechnikZentrum, NETZ. Leander is back from his holidays and amazingly added lots of CAD files

After a few weeks break, the open fuel cell team meets again. This time at the Chair of Manufacturing Engineering.  Open Fuel Cells travel to

We thought this would be easy: milling the conductor plates according to Burghard’s design to produce the flowfield and the open electrode. We gave a

Amazingly, our group is growing and so is our determination to bring the open fuel cell to the world. We are thus very happy that

So we’ve printed the pressure plates on the SLA printer at the Chair for Energy Technology. The next step will be somewhat more difficult: milling
