4 Capacitor Module T wo integrated capacitor assemblies make up the capacitor module. Somewhat like a battery , the capacitor module provides long- term storage for electrical power generated by the fuel cells or regenerated by the propulsion motor . This power is available to provide extra current when needed, such as during acceleration. Each cap ...

7 The FCX does not present any greater hazards than a conventional gasoline-powered passenger car or any other type of electric car . It performed well in front-, offset-frontal-, side-, and rear -impact tests, with no damage to any of the high-voltage or hydrogen components. Flammable Fluid The only flammable fluid used by the FCX is transmission ...
