Preparing the fuel Cell
a. Put one 5 cm long tube on the end of the syringe as shown below.
b. Suck up some distilled or purified water and push it into the fuel cell by the nozzle which is the
closest from the red plug of oxygen side of the fuel cell. As soon as the water flows out of the cell,
disconnect the syringe from the tube and let this one connected with the fuel cell.
WARNING: The polymer membrane on the oxygen side is an important part of the proton exchange
membrane (PEM) fuel cell, it should be prevented from drying out.
