The reformer processes fuel used in the Fuel Cell Assembly. It takes a hydrocarbon fuel, such as natural gas, through a chemical transformation process in the presence of steam and a catalyst and dissociates the carbon and the hydrogen of the fuel into CO, CO2, and H2. A single cell of the assembly generates roughly one volt of DC and will create roughly 100-200 watts of electricity for each square foot of electrode cross-sectional area.
