1.The water levels do not drop when the gas outlet tubes on both sides of the fuel
cell are unplugged.
Solution:
Check whether the spaces on the wall of the inner cylinder are blocked. If so, turn
the inner cylinder until water enters the spaces and fills up the inner cylinder.

2.The reversible fuel cell does not produce hydrogen and/or oxygen.
Solution:
a. Check whether the wires are appropriately connected, and whether there are
any loose connections. The fuel cell could be completely destroyed if the red wire
of the battery pack is connected to the black jack of the fuel cell.

b. Check whether the switch of the battery pack is in the “on” position.
