I am a Christian. I believe in the God of the Bible, in God the Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit. I believe in Genesis 1:1 - "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (NIV)" I am a biochemist and a pharmacist by education. As such I have a desire to understand nature. I am writing this blog as my way to express the facts of true science as I understand them, from the perspective of one who believes that all things were created by God, for God and for His purposes.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells - Hindenburg under control

The principle of the fuel cell was discovered by German scientist Christian Friedrich Schönbein in 1838. It converts hydrogen gas and oxygen gas into water and electricity. This is similar to the reaction that burned the Hindenburg but in a controlled process with the collection of energy as electricity which can be used as a power source. As long as fuel (hydrogen and oxygen) are supplied, the fuel cell is like a perpetual battery, supplying electricity on demand. The fuel cell operates with a special membrane that controls the reaction and gathers the electricity to transport it away where it can be used or stored in batteries.

God reveals things to us through science in His timing and for His pleasure. He enjoys our work to discover the things He has hidden for us to find.

Deuteronomy 29:29 - "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law. (NIV)"
