Fuel Cell Systems

One of the most naturally persistent hurdles for the broader application of photovoltaic cells is how to store the electricity when the sun is not available. Batteries have been suggested as one solution, but they are notoriously bulky and impractical.  A more elegant solution has been proposed by Dominic Gervasio of Arizona State University’s Biodesign Institute.
