摘要：	This final technical report summarizes the research performance and progress achieved. The purpose of the authors' endeavors is to investigate the feasibility of using fuel cells in motor vehicles. In order to understand the basics of fuel cell, mini fuel cell kit has been tested in different concentration and different number of cells. The authors tested the outputs in voltage and current from varying numbers and different volumes of methanol and sodium hydroxide. It was found that very large numbers of cells were required to produce reasonably large voltages and currents. Secondly, solar power fuel cell system that generated hydrogen through solar system and supplied it to the fuel cell system directly was tested under different conditions. Thirdly, a prototype power wheel car system PEM fuel cell is designed. A six (6) Volt and three (3) Amperage Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell System was tested on a prototype model. It is concluded that PEM fuel cells can be used in an automobile application. However, there are some barriers for mass production of a fuel cell powered car that need to be overcome such as cost reduction and further development of components of the system. Prototype II has been built to maximize the power usage PEM Fuel Cell could generate. Comparison analysis of fuel cell usage was performed between two different rated motors. It is believed that the better rated the motor is, the higher performance the fuel cell and motor system generates.
