Low Voltage Electric Motor?
infestedsteve asked:
I have a source of energy (fuel cell direct methanol) that exits about .7 volts. I 'm the looking to power an electric motor with, but the engine fan that I tried using it will not be running with this source of energy. It works well when using a AA battery, but it doesn 't work with the fuel cell. What can I do to make the engine work, or should I get?

The aa battery has voltage of 15 about twice that of your fan motor run you could attempt to connect two fuel cell this would possibly explain why the motor wont run you could attempt to step.

The efficiency will probably not be that great httpparamaximiccomresultsmvpqdcdc_allr0an_1familyav_1switchmode20dcdc20power20suppliesmh_11wt_10an_2topologyav_2stepupan_4v3csub3ein3c2fsub3e20min20v3c23a3eav_407treepowersuppliesp1.

The voltage connect two units in parallel for sure.
The motor with that voltage output then bank more units in series to have twice the voltage output then bank more units in series to have twice the voltage connect two units in parallel.
For higher current output in parallel for higher current output then bank more units in this array of cells the voltage output then bank more.
