Additional Details
With over 150 years in existence, Fuel Cells have recently become popularized in the mainstream as an effective energy generator used in powering everything from electric vehicles to buildings. They can fulfill all of our global power needs while being highly efficient and a low-polluting technology.
The Horizon Educational DIY Fuel Cell Science Kit comes with everything you need to split water and use its hydrogen to generate electricity. Students are tasked to use their creativity to develop ways to use this newly harnessed power by designing and fabricating a car that is powered by H2.
