On November 22, 2024, the Open Fuel Cell (OFC) joined the fun at this year’s Night of Physics at the University of Duisburg-Essen (check it out here: Night of Physics). The event was all about giving the public a glimpse into the fascinating world of physics—and maybe convincing a few […]
Is the OFC suitable for outdoor use? Can you showcase fascinating fuel cell technology with live measurements at science fairs? YES, YOU CAN! At the end of June 2024, we participated in the URBAN ZERO festival in Duisburg Ruhrort. As you can guess from the leaflet, this fair was an […]
Introduction In late November 2023, the Open Fuel Cell (OFC) took a significant leap forward in its application for educational purposes. The occasion was the “MeetTech+Teach” teacher conference held in Mannheim, where the OFC was showcased to educators eager to explore its potential. This event not only provided a platform […]
The open fuel cell was presented at the Maker day 2023 at the public library in Duisburg. Many crafters showed interest in our open fuel cell. The visitors were able to see that the open fuel cell is able to produce electricity – and even more if they use a […]
Is the open fuel cell just meant to be a nice to have item used for some basic educational applications? By far: NO! On the 13th and 14th September 2023 our little open fuel cell had its debut on the hy-fcell exhibition in Stuttgart. This exhibition is one of the […]
On August 3rd, 2023, we used the open fuel cell (OFC) operated in a simplistic experimental setup so spread the fascination about fuel cell technology among the next generation of scientists and engineers. As part of an outreach event called „SUNI“ (Sommer Uni), organised by the University of Duisburg-Essen, pupils […]
In late April, Burghard was invited to the Chemistry advanced class of Dr. Schulte in the Luisenschule in Muelheim. Preceeding this visit was an in depth focus topic during which the students covered electrochemistry over the course of four months. The practical application that concluded this topic was the Open […]
