DIY Fuel Cell Science kit for Kids for understanding fuel cell technology.
Students are tasked with designing and fabricating a car that is powered by H2. First, they will sketch out their ideas on paper in order to help them come up with a plan of how they want to design their vehicle.
Next, they will need to source materials that are strong enough to hold the components of the fuelcell system, but light enough to allow the car to travel as far as possible. Finally, they will build their prototype and test it!
This kit includes:
✔ Reversible fuel cell (Transparent or blue)
✔ Set of silicone tubing
✔ 2 (5ml) Syringes
✔ 2 (20mL) Syringes for storage of Hydrogen and Oxygen
✔ LEDs with bare PCB board
✔ Set of crocodile/banana wire
✔ Set of red and black pins
✔ Battery pack
✔ Motor (required input 0.6V)
✔ Gearbox
✔ 2 Pressure relief valves
✔ 2 Plastic clamps
✔ Bag to protect fuel cell
