Abstract
A description is given of a prototype proton exchange membrane fuel cell for high-energy-density power supplies in the 1-100 kW range that has been designed, built and tested. A closed-loop fuel cell system for use in an autonomous underwater vehicle is also described. The key issues, design considerations and results to date for the prototype and closed-loop developmental programs are discussed
