This integration presents many challenges and opportunities in the mechatronics field. This paper highlights important design issues and poses problems that require mechatronics solutions. The paper begins by describing the process of designing a toy school bus powered by hydrogen for an undergraduate student project. The project was an effective and rewarding educational activity that revealed complex systems issues associated with FC technology. 摘要 燃料电池(FCs)的发电,需要整合化学、流体、机械、热、电和电子子系统。这种综合系统在机电一体化领域提出了许多挑战和机遇。本文重点强调设计问题,提出了该问题需要用机电一体化方案来解决。本文首先描述了本科学生项目为一个玩具校车设计采用氢为燃料的燃料电池的流程。该项目是一个有效和有益的教育活动,揭示复杂系统与FC技术相关的问题。 Keywords Fuel cell;?

Only recently, however, have FCs become a promising alternative to internal combustion engines (ICEs) and thus are considered for transportation (automotive, marine and aerospace) applications and distributed power generation. FCs are very efficient because they rely on electrochemistry rather than combustion. Specifically, water, electrical energy, and heat are created through the combination of hydrogen and oxygen. The major breakthroughs that have recently brought FCs to the fore-front include the development of low resistance membranes, highly diffusive electrodes, and reduced use of noble metal catalysts. Moreover, efficient power electronics and electric motors can now effectively utilize and distribute the electricity generated from the FC. All these advances
