Abstract
In this tutorial we evaluate the present status and future direction of fuel cell development. The three most promising types of fuel cells being evaluated for electric vehicle propulsion are: (1) direct hydrogen-consuming fuel cells; (2) methanol-consuming fuel cells; and (3) zinc-air fuel cells. The author evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of each type.
