Hello,
im designing a space rover(lunar or mars) which is a mini working model. It has to run with zinc-air batteries. Please give ideas to make the zinc-air fuell cell.
thank you very much

I would recommend that you do some web searching on "zinc air batteries" and/or "zinc air fuel cells" as a start. Given that your target environment does not have atmospheric oxygen, you will have to take this into account. One starting place for a quick understanding of the chemistry involved is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc-air_battery

ajay,

I have merged your other topic into this one. Please keep all questions about your project on one topic.

Thanks!
