Fuel Cells provide nine days of continuous power to the BBC Winterwatch team
The crew elected to work with fuel cells to provide nine days of continuous power for the remote cameras and audio and video codecs. This allowed the film crew to maintain remote video, audio and camera control via a fibre optic cable, while minimising disturbance to both sites. Fuel cells run silently and can be left in situ for long periods of time without refuelling.
