  • Abstract
    A brief review is given of fuel cell principles and types. Performance of a molten-electrolyte fuel cell at 600° C on hydrocarbon-derived fuels is then discussed. Air is used at the other electrode. Propane reformate fuel produces about 80% of the power obtained with hydrogen. A one to one mole mixture of water and methyl alcohol is also a satisfactory cell fuel. Performance of fuel cell batteries is also discussed.
