Fuel Cell Car

Thames & Kosmos Fuel Cell Kit provides a playful introduction to one of the most significant technologies of the 21st Century.
With this kit you can build a model car that actually runs on water!
Fuel cells are one of the most promising means of producing energy in the future. Because they do not consume fossil fuels they are considered environmentally friendly. It is widely believed that fuel cells will become the energy source for automobiles in the near future.
With this unique kit, you can build your own experimental reversible fuel cell car to learn more about this energy source.
The Thames & Kosmos Fuel Cell kit also includes a digital MultiMate which measures currents and voltage, allowing you to learn exactly what a fuel cell is and how it functions. The experiments and demonstrations explain the physics upon which this future technology is based.
Just a few of the over 30 experiments and demonstrations:

Effects of direct and indirect radiation

Characteristics of a solar module

Electrolysis and its effect on water

Oxy-hydrogen test

How to construct and load a reversible fuel cell

Decomposition of water in the fuel cell
