This book is fantastic DIY help for fuel cell experimenters. I was able to successfully build a fuel cell using the instructions in this book. I have some helpful tips for people attempting to build the cell. The exacto saw is not the way to go when cutting the end plates. Use straight cut tin snips instead. Be careful if using the liquid electrical tape, because if you put too much on towards the bottom of the screw you won't be able to get the wingnuts on. I was a little confused when preparing the rubber gasket. Suffice it to say just cut the mylar surrounds and the rubber gasket together as a sandwich and you will have all three pieces. Other than that the book was essential in producing a hand made fuel cell.

Practical instructions that can work for tech trained DIY types.

Phillip Hurley does a great job in all of his books. The average person can understand and follow his instructions. This is my third Hurley book and it definitely will not be my last. He covers each step of his projects several times in several different ways in case you didn't understand the first time. Most of his projects can be completed with normal every day tools, a big plus for most of us.

Lots of great information written in a simple and easy way to understand.

Very Didactic and easy to follow

it is very useful book for fuel cell buildeers, This book presents detailed information which components are needed to build fuel cell and where you can buy them.

I was curious why they wrote a book on this. It a small thing to build, but you never recoup your investment back! The book answere a lot of my questions.

An excellent reference for anyone wanting to build or experiment with hydrogen fuel cells. Resources pertain to the USA market but I can source most items on line if not available locally (Australia). I have also purchased Practical Hydrogen Systems - An Experimenters Guide. Well recommended.

This book is a great and easy to read introduction to hydrogen fuel cells, with lots of useful links to suppliers.

will help in the future. Thank you

Disappointed. Huge typeface, and lots of repetition, make this book very thin on content. More annoyingly, Chapter 1 lists all the author's other books with the content you thought you'd already bought. Rather than write the definitive book on building your own fuel cells, this is a lesson in how to sell lots of low value books

There is not plan at all in that book in order to build tour own Pem cell and pivtures are in black and white
