Hydrogen fuel cell

[Nan and Sandy Sanders]

Crashes, no protection circuits, discharge rates of up to 10C or more. Not
the same conditions as in a cell phone. It is a wonder they don't have more
fires. But then again when I played with models we used nitromethane and
methyl alcohol for fuel. Not the safest of mixtures.
