Fuel Cell Technology Workers

Exploring This Job

Read books about fuel cell technology. One interesting suggestion is Build Your Own Fuel Cells, by Phillip Hurley, which offers instructions on creating low-tech fuel cells with a bandsaw and drill press, or just a few hand tools. Be sure to have adult supervision when working on any of these projects. Another suggestion:Fuel Cell Systems Explained, by Andrew L. Dicks and David A. J. Rand.

You can also talk to a fuel cell technology worker to get an insight on his or her career. Another good way to learn about fuel cell technology is through the Internet. Learn the terms that are associated with the field at the Smithsonian Institute's exhibit on fuel cells (https://americanhistory.si.edu/fuelcells/glossary.htm). There are many other useful Web sites you can visit that offer information on fuel cell technology, such as How Stuff Works (https://auto.howstuffworks.com/fuel-efficiency/alternative-fuels/fuel-cell.htm).
