Abstract
A fuel cell system includes a hydrogen expansion system comprising an aeolipile, and a heat exchanger for receiving and expanding hydrogen received from a supply of hydrogen, for provision to the aeolipile. A generator coupled to the aeolipile may generate electrical power from operation of the aeolipile. The hydrogen leaving the aeolipile may be returned to the heat exchanger to transfer heat to the hydrogen received from the supply of hydrogen.
