Hydro-Car
Fuel cell Hydrocar Kit - build your own steerable Hydrogen Car.
The Hydrocar is a futuristic educational car that contains one of the most exciting and advanced technologies of the 21st century. This car operates on 100% clean fuel produced by a reversible fuel cell that converts water to hydrogen using energy captured from the sun. To help improve the quality of our environment, reduce the impact of soaring energy costs, and decrease our dependence on imported oil, the time is right to start introducing the world to the benefits of hydrogen fuel cell technologies.
Around the world, scientists and researchers are looking to find new ways to meet our growing energy needs ithout further damaging our environment or endangering our planet. One alternative is hydrogen, which can be reated using clean, renewable sources such as wind and solar power. Using a device called an electrolyzer, ater can be used to form hydrogen. Fuel cells can then convert hydrogen to electrical energy to power anything rom vehicles and homes to electronic devices.
This Hydrocar kit is conveniently designed to bring the latest research out of the laboratories and into your ands - so that you too can join the global scientific community in bringing the world into the Hydrogen Age.
Working of Car by Using Solar Panel for electrolysis:
Electrolysis is the process of converting electrical energy to chemical energy. When a chemical charge is applied to water, the charge breaks the chemical bond between hydrogen and oxygen and creates charged particles called ions. In this case, positively charged hydrogen ions and negatively charged ions are formed. An electrolyzer has 2 electrodes where the ions form. One electrode, called the anode, is positively charged, and attracts negatively charged ions. The other electrode is called the cathode and attracts the positively charged hydrogen ions. Reversible fuel cells can be used to perform electrolysis. In a fuel cell, the electrolyte is part of the membrane assembly. When a current is applied to a fuel cell, it will electrolyze water producing hydrogen on the cathode side and oxygen on the anode side.
