Abstract: A system and method for cooling and humidifying a cathode subsystem of a fuel cell for an automobile. The system includes a compressor, an air input line including an intercooler configured to cool air output by the compressor, a fluid output line including a fluid injection system, a cathode stack configured to receive air via the air input line and output a fluid to the fluid output line, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to control the fluid injection system such that the fluid output from the cathode stack is injected into the air input line.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine including a composite case having a conductive path therein, and a conductive case connected to the composite case. The conductive case is made of a conductive material. A fastener connects the composite case to the conductive case. The fastener is conductively connected to the conductive material of the conductive case and not directly conductively connected to the conductive path. At least one voltage discharge channeling assembly is connected to the fastener and to the conductive case. The at least one voltage discharge channeling assembly has a portion conductively connected to the conductive path. The at least one voltage discharge channeling assembly is conductively connected to the fastener. A method of assembling an engine casing in a gas turbine engine is also provided.
