Product Description
The next several years will see a massive emergence of hydrogen fuel cells as an alterative energy option in both transportation and domestic use. The long-range expectation is that hydrogen will be used as a fuel, produced either from renewable energy, fossil, or nuclear sources, offering an environmentally acceptable and efficient source of power/energy.
Hydrogen and Fuel Cells describes in detail the techniques associated with all the production and conversion steps and the set-up of systems at a level suited for both academic and professional use. The book not only describes the "how" and "where" aspects hydrogen fuels cells may be used, but also the obstacles and benefits of its use, as well as the social implications (both economically and environmental). Thoroughly illustrated and cross-referenced, this is the ultimate reference for researchers, professionals and students in the field of renewable energy.
* Written by a world-renowned leader in the study of renewable energy.
* Thoroughly illustrated with cross-references for easy use and reference.
* Written at a level suited for both academic and professional use.

Not for the non PHD March 7, 2006
K. Boericke (Philadelphia, PA)
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is very impressive in it's content. I have been working with electronics all my life, I am not a novice with chemistry, and I have been trained on nuclear reactor theory. Much of this book is way over my head. It spends much time moving from complex formula to complex formula leaving my head spinning.
Hat's off to the author for assembling such a wealth of knowledge under one cover. Blessings to the person who can understand it all. I do not fit in these ranks. This book is certainly not written for the back yard tinkerer.
