Microbial fuel cells

Fuel cells that use bacteria as catalysts to produce hydrogen gas, which is then used to generate electricity. In this application, the hydrogen also provides buoyancy control.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology

A technology that combines hydrogen and oxygen in a clean, electrochemical process to generate power, releasing only water vapor as a byproduct.
