AI Technical Summary
Existing hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell drones struggle to maintain normal output power at high altitudes due to reduced oxygen concentration, making high-altitude flight difficult.
Oxygen and hydrogen are stored in a first storage tank and a second storage tank, respectively. Unreacted exhaust gas is recovered to the inlet by a first circulation pump and a second circulation pump. Combined with a cooling fan, the fuel cell is cooled down, thereby enhancing the utilization efficiency of the reaction gas.
Ensuring the normal operation of fuel cells in high-altitude environments improves combustion efficiency, avoids waste of reactant gases, and adapts to more flight scenarios.
