Attempts were made to control the output current of the fuel cell by starving it of hydrogen and oxygen. The motivation of this work was to increase efficiency by minimizing waste of fuel. The following findings were obtained: H2 starvation works better than O2 starvation; An optimal H2 to O2 ratio exists for combined H2&O2 starvation; The control scheme for H2&O2 starvation works well for 3 different disturbance tests and at 25 degrees C, 60 degrees C, and 80 degrees C; Fuel cell under reactant starvation is stable for at least 72 hrs.
