2. FUEL CELL HISTORY 1839 - The first fuel cell was created by
Sir William Grove which he called the Gas Battery. 1889 - Charles
Langer and Ludwig Mond took William Groves fuel cell invention and
further refined it and started referring to it as a fuel cell. 1932
- Francis Bacon makes the first functional fuel cell. 1950 -
General Electric creates the PEM fuel cell 1959 - Francis Bacon
shows off his 5 kilowatt alkaline fuel cell 1960 - NASA starts
using fuel cells in space. 1970 - Oil Crisis causes fuel cell
popularity to increase. 1980 - United States Navy starts to equip
submarines with fuel cells. 1990 Stationary fuel cells are used to
power buildings 2005 Fuel cells start becoming available to the
public. 3. FUEL CELL TYPES Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Picture
