Help with a Hydrogen Fuel cell presentation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on enhancing a presentation about hydrogen fuel cells by suggesting additional slide topics. Key ideas include exploring the necessary infrastructure for hydrogen fuel, the production methods of hydrogen, and their respective pros and cons. The importance of critically analyzing the technology and its implications for a future hydrogen economy is emphasized. Additional suggestions include addressing greenhouse gas impacts, pollutant distribution, and the distinction between hydrogen as a vector versus an energy source. Overall, the conversation aims to create a comprehensive overview of hydrogen fuel cells and their potential future.

I need help thinking of ideas for slides. I have "How it works", "benefits", "challenges", "Physics behind it", "Hydrogen vehicles", "Why Hydrogen", "What is a fuel cell", "Uses", "efficiency", "Fuel cell configurations". I can't think of anything else.

I'm assuming that the difficulty and expense of setting up a (what is currently non-existent) hydrogen infrastructure (e.g. fuelling stations) is discussed on your 'challenges' slide as a roadblock to fuel cell vehicles. However, if it is within the scope of your presentation, you could have a slide discussing what such a hydrogen infrastructure would have to include/entail.

I'm also assuming your 'challenges' slide discusses the production of hydgrogen itself, but if it doesn't, then you could have a "Where would the hydrogen come from?" slide that looks at the pros and cons of different production methods. E.g.:

1. electrolysis...clean, but requires electricity, which is not always generated cleanly.

2. extraction from hydrocarbons such as methane (not clean, but commonplace).

In other words, think critically about this technology.

Maybe you could wrap it up with a slide that looks to the future...discussing the potential of this technology, implications of it becoming widespread and envisioning a "hydrogen economy."

The future? That's perfect. Thanks.

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
