UC Riverside Team Honored in Hydrogen Student Design Contest

Four chemical engineering majors and one business student from UC Riverside teamed up and entered the 6th annual Hydrogen Student Design Contest.  The students designed a home-based fuel cell that could power a car for 50 miles a day and have enough energy left over for 80% of an average family's electricity needs. The design was recognized in third place out of 54 international teams, and used photovoltaic panels and nickel or silver to split water into hydrogen and oxygen components.  http://www.pe.com/localnews/stories/PE_News_Local_D_fuel17.274fe15.html
