From personal experience when using fuel cells, all you have to do is flow in more hydrogen to up the power generation up until its saturated. So that's very easy to do almost instantly with a flow controller. Forklifts is the best practical application I know. What kills them is being around air like the Chinese have. That's what currently makes them impractical, other than the heavy metals.

Details on this?

I don't give personal information other than vague stuff. I have designed built and used fuel cells as part of my old job though. Sulfur makes fuel cell membranes not work. It's either the catalyst or the membrane I don't remember which but one is affected. The catalyst is Pd from what I remember. Pem fuel cells use a catalyst to split the hydrogen then transport it across the membrane to meet with o2 to form water. This h2 leaves its electrons which can then be used for electric power.

Thanks. That's interesting.
