A PEMFC fuel cell is an electrochemical device that directly converts the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy, producing water and heat as byproducts, without combustion.
The design was created using a parts assembly program in SolidWorks, taking into account manufacturing feasibility and the correct selection of components to ensure a viable result. Each component of the fuel cell was modeled individually (the nuts used were taken from the toolbox). The Sweep and Cut-Sweep functions were used for the copper tube, allowing it to be given the appropriate cylindrical shape, as well as defining its path and correct placement within the collector plates.
