Description
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
