A fuel cell is a device that produces electricity from a fuel and an oxidizer, a substance that combines with fuel. Fuel cells have a high efficiency level. They are used in boats, trucks, and laptops. To this day, fuel cells are providing the electricity for the Apollo spacecraft. They are used in high-tech equipment because they are quiet, clean, and sturdy. No pollution is produced during its process.

He then went to Brasenose College, Oxford, and also studied law in 1835. Besides being known for the Fuel Cell Technology, he was also known for the Grove Battery.
