Product Code : SCL-GLE-12970
The Solar Hydrogen Science Kit lets students invent
their own clean energy applications using fuel cells and renewable hydrogen
created using solar energy and water.
The kit includes a small electric motor and
propeller blade as the starting point for the motorised applications to use to
build a futuristic solar energy storage device. The set comes with a complete
curriculum on renewable energy with easy to follow experiment manual, assembly
guide, flash animations, and background history on the technology.
Kit contents are:
- Reversible PEM fuel cell
- Reversible PEM fuel cell base
- Hydrogen and oxygen tanks
- Inner gas containers
- Water/gas tank module base
- Transparent silicon tubing
- Flexible 2mm banana connecting leads
- Plastic plug pins for fuel cell
- Battery pack with connecting leads (2 x AA
batteries required)
- Syringe
- Motor and fan with propeller blade
- 1 Watt solar panel
- Assembly instructions
- CD with curriculum manuals

Top Tips
Cell Storage
- The PEM Fuel Cell should be stored with some
residual drops of water inside it in a tight sealable plastic bag.
Solar energy experiments:
- The effect of heat and cooling on solar panels
- The effect of shade on solar panels
- The effect of tilt angle on solar panels
Hydrogen energy experiments:
- Electrolysis mode: generating hydrogen and
oxygen from water
- Fuel cell mode: generating electricity from
hydrogen and oxygen
- Determining the minimum voltage for water
decomposition
- Polarization states for hydrogen fuel cells
- The Horizon Educational Energy Curriculum
includes more than 25 hours of activities for middle/high school in
physics and earth/environmental science.
