Fuel cell
Energy carrier
Electrical equipment; Fuel cell
An energy carrier is a substance or phenomenon that can be used to produce mechanical work or heat or to operate chemical or physical processes (ISO 13600).
Internal combustion engine (ICE)
Electrical equipment; Fuel cell
An engine in which the combustion of fuel and an oxidizer (typically air) occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber.
Electrical insulation
Electrical equipment; Fuel cell
An electrical insulator is a material that resists the flow of electric current. It is an object intended to support or separate electrical conductors without passing current through itself.
Circuit
Electrical equipment; Fuel cell
An circuit is a closed path formed by the interconnection of electronic components through which an electric current can flow.
Electric circuit
Electrical equipment; Fuel cell
An electrical circuit is a network that has a closed loop, giving a return path for the current. A network is a connexion of two or more components, and may not necessarily be a circuit.
Carbon ©
Electrical equipment; Fuel cell
An atom and primary constituent of hydrocarbon fuels. Carbon is routinely left as a black deposit on engine parts, such as pistons, rings, and valves, by the combustion of fuel.
Auxiliary power unit (APU)
Electrical equipment; Fuel cell
An auxiliary power unit is a device on a vehicle whose purpose is to provide energy for functions other than propulsion.
