Hydrogen Powered Remote Controlled Car - H Racer 2.0

The H-Racer consists of a miniature car, which can be fueled with hydrogen, which is then converted to electric energy in order to power the engine of the car. The conversion takes place in an included 0,3 watt PEM fuel cell. The hydrogen can easily be produced in the included miniature gas station, which comes with an included electrolyser, which can transform electric energy and water* into hydrogen and oxygen. For this to work, you have to connect the gas station to the included solar cell or you have to use 2 AA batteries, which you can easily insert into the gas station. After that, you only have to connect the gas station to the car, which will transfer the produced hydrogen into it. The car and the gas station allow you to look into them so that you can easily observer everything which is going on.

*Distilled water should be used when possible to ensure longevity of working parts.

The car can be controlled with the included remote control, which needs 3 LR44 batteries to work. The H-Racer comes as a construction kit, but you don't have to be a scientist to build it. Just have a look at our product video to see all necessary steps in fast motion. You can use the car for about 4 minutes after you have to refuel it. Its maximum speed is 7 km/h.

Cars running on clean and renewable fuel are the dream of many of today's world leaders, engineers and scientists seeking to eliminate mankind's reliance on fossil fuels in favor of climate-friendly energy resources.

With new advances in technology, hydrogen is on its way to becoming the world’s next fuel. Hydrogen offers many important advantages: it is non-toxic, renewable, clean to use, and the most abundant element in our universe. And by using fuel cell technology to convert hydrogen to electricity without any combustion, the technology is a significant solution to many of our global energy and environmental problems. No combustion occurs inside a fuel cell. The only exhaust resulting from hydrogen fuel cell cars is pure water! Fuel cell cars that use hydrogen as a fuel are also known as “zero emission vehicles.”
