Horizon Fuel Cell Cars

Description

For most of us, hydrogen powered vehicles seem like a distant dream. Wake up from your dream and view the future, in miniature at least. Teach your children about renewable resources with the Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies line of eco-education toys. Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies has put the power of hydrogen in the palm of your hand, with a line of remote controlled vehicles for you to enjoy. The development of lightweight, compact PEM fuel cells used in these vehicles and other small applications has helped make hydrogen power a force to be reckoned with and Horizon Technologies a leader in the field. Such technology will help reduce our dependence on traditional batteries to power up our children's toys and reduce unneeded landfill waste that harms our environment. The futuristic design of the H-Racer cars is cool and aerodynamic, delighting children for hours. TheFuel Cell Car and Renewable Energy Kits are interactive toys that help educate children of all ages on the emerging renewable resource that may one day power the planet.

Features

• Hydrogen Powered :Water is used to form hydrogen; fuel cells then convert hydrogen to electrical energy to power the Fuel Cell Car
• Oxygen and hydrogen gases are formed in two transparent water containers – you can watch as the reversible PEM fuel cell combine electrolysis and power conversion into one single device
• Clean, renewable fuel created using only water, making the need for batteries a thing of the past, and creating hours of enjoyment
• Each kit allows your child to build a full-scale hydrogen economy in miniature, demonstrating clean energy technologies
• Interactive : Comes with an instruction manual and is recommended for all ages above 12.
• From the minute your child opens the package, fun, interactive learning concepts are there for them to discover and understand about a potential renewable resource
• The car steers independently of the user once in operation: when the car hits a barrier, it will automatically find its way by reversing away 90 degrees.

Setup/Care

Make sure the fuel cell has plenty of water before any electrolysis operation. Use distilled water only. Leave the water inside the fuel cell for 5 to 10 minutes to fully hydrate the fuel cell.

Kit assembly required

How it Works

A fuel cell generates electrical power by continuously converting the chemical energy of a fuel into electrical energy by way of an electrochemical reaction. The fuel cell itself has no moving parts, making it a quiet and reliable source of power. Fuel cells typically utilize hydrogen as the fuel, and oxygen (usually from air) as the oxidant in the electrochemical reaction. The reaction results in electricity, by-product water, and by-product heat.

Horizon's technological advantage resides in developing complete PEM (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane) fuel cell power solutions delivering 0.3W to 15kW. Our PEM fuel cells are air-cooled, and self-humidified, making it possible to offer simpler and therefore more reliable system designs. They have the additional benefit of being one of the lightest and most compact solutions on the world market.

Efficiency

Because the fuel is converted directly to electricity, a fuel cell can operate at much higher efficiencies than internal combustion engines, extracting more electricity from the same amount of fuel.

Warranty

The product is warranted against manufacture defects for 60 days.
