Fuel cell vehicle, Hydrocar
The Hydrocar fuel cell car shows how hydrogen produced by electrolysis can be used as a fuel. The solar panel supplies power to the electrolysis unit, which produces hydrogen that powers the car via a fuel cell based on hydrogen combustion. The electrolysis unit can be purchased as a spare part.
It is also possible to follow the production of H2 and O2
The car is used in physics and technology classes to demonstrate the principles behind hydrogen production and fuel cells as alternative energy sources. Students can experiment with the connection between solar energy, electrolysis and fuel cell technology. In addition to school use, the car can be used in projects on sustainable energy and environmental technology.
