Hey guys, I was thinking about the make up of a hydrogen fuel cell and noticed that it closely resembled a capacitor, do you think that it could be represented as one? and if so could you put it in an LC resonant circuit? would this improve hydrogen/oxygen ouput?

I really don't think so. First of all the fuel cell cannot be represented as a capacitor. It has something in common but definitively cannot be simplified in such way.

Using a fuel cell in a resonant mode (if it was possible) would mean using it as generator and electrolyzer at the resonant frequency... Fuel cells should typically provide a output current as constant as possible. Having positive and negative voltages and currents at high frequency would cause very fast degradation of the fuel cell and eventually destruction.
 

Oh, I see. Thanks for the information emontllo
