Energy and Fuels Kit by Horizon Educational
Product Code : SCL-CLE-12913
The kit consists of a Fuel Cell Car Kit and a Solar
Hydrogen Energy Education Set, both by Horizon Educational.
Horizon's Fuel Cell Car Science Kit enables
students to discover the principles behind the real-scale fuel cell vehicles
currently being rolled out across the world. Generate hydrogen through water
electrolysis and convert it into electricity using a PEM fuel cell, which then
powers the car. The Fuel Cell Car is capable of driving itself - capable of
negotiating obstacles independent of the user.
The Solar Hydrogen Energy Science Kit demonstrates
the workings of a clean energy technology system on a miniature scale. Power an
electrical circuit by solar panel or a wind turbine with profiled blades based
on NASA aeronautics.
Whichever combination of technologies you want to
explore, this science kit is a comprehensive introduction to the principles
behind renewable micro-grids.
Includes Full STEM Activity Materials for:
- Reversible electrolysis reactions
- Reaction rates
- Conservation of energy and energy transfer
- Renewable energy
