A fuel cell can utilize hydrogen and oxygen gas to generate electricity, but it does not qualify as a traditional battery. The discussion highlights the concept of a "gas phase battery," comparing it to a thundercloud, where positive ions rise and negative ions descend, creating a plasma discharge. The proposal suggests that combining two gas tanks with a fuel cell in a single enclosure could function similarly to a chemical battery, challenging conventional definitions of battery systems.
