Temasek Polytechnic School of Engineering’s Fuel Cell Application Centre (FAC) has developed a motorised bicycle powered by fuel cells. It makes use of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology.

Oxygen and hydrogen from the surrounding air are converted into electrical energy through a chemical reaction that occurs in the fuel cell stack. As a result, the bicycle is

powered up and there is no gas emission since the by product of fuel cells is water.

The key features of this bicycle are:

1. Achieves heat exchange between the Fuel Cell Stack and Hydrogen Cylinder.
2. Stores excess energy and provides peak power when needed, using an ultra capacitor.
3. Displays and monitors operational status of the bicycle.
4. Provides high power density and table voltage output
5. Is environmentally friendly and durable.
