Description
The Hydrocar is a futuristic
instructional product which contains one of the 21st Century's
most exciting technologies.
Hydrocar runs on 100% clean
energy, generated by a reversible fuel cell which converts water
into hydrogen with the help of solar energy.
Watch as
oxygen and hydrogen gases are formed in two transparent water
containers in the back of the vehicle. The kitˇs fuel cell unit
combines water electrolysis and fuel cell functions into one
device.
Contents
Kit-form chassis with motor and LED lights, Reversible fuel
cell, inner cylinders (2), outer cylinders(2),
Solar panel, battery pack, syringe, short and long rubber hoses
Info
The
Hydrocar kit is designed to be user-friendly. It places the
latest developments from the laboratory directly in your hands.
The Hydrocar exploits a reversible low-temperature Proton
Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell. This generates energy through
the reaction between hydrogen, which is stored in the hydrogen
cylinder, and oxygen, which is also stored on board.
The Hydrocar automatically finds its way around the floor,
independently circumventing obstacles. It runs forward and in
reverse until it finds a route devoid of obstacles. When the
Hydrocar is running on its own hydrogen, two blue LEDs light up
on the top of the motor.
