But what is a hydrogen fuel cell? Without going into all the DETAILS, the basic idea is that you can get an electrical current when you combine hydrogen with oxygen (you also get water). But is it really effective? Don't you lose energy by cracking hydrogen and then turning it back into water? Well, the details matter. Quote If you need a reliable battery with a large fuel supply, hydrogen fuel cells are a good choice. For EXAMPLE – in space, hydrogen fuel cells are a perfect choice. If everyone on Earth used the fuel cell, we would have a problem making enough hydrogen (and storing it).
