Fuel-cells create electricity via a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, much like a miniature electric power plant. A single fuel-cell generates less than a single volt of electricity, so many cells are stacked in a series connection--a "fuel-cell stack"--to produce enough voltage to power a car. 1, record 1, English, - fuel%2Dcell%20hybrid%20vehicle

A fuel-cell power plant generally consists of three major subsystems-a fuel processor, a fuel-cell power station, and a power conditioner. The fuel processor converts a conventional utility fuel to hydrogen gas; the fuel-cell power station electrochemically converts hydrogen and oxygen to water, while producing direct-current power; and the power conditioner converts direct-current power to alternating-current power. 3, record 2, English, - fuel%2Dcell%20power%20plant
