Quick Answer: The Energy and Fuels Kit combines a Fuel Cell Car Kit and a Renewable Energy Education Set to show a clean energy technology system on a miniature scale, from hydrogen generation to a self-driving fuel cell car.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Made up of a Fuel Cell Car Kit and a Renewable Energy Education Set
Generates hydrogen through water electrolysis
PEM fuel cell converts the hydrogen into electricity to power the car
Car can drive itself, negotiating obstacles independent of the user
Electrical circuit can be powered by a solar panel or a wind turbine with profiled blades
STEM activity materials included
About This Product
The kit gives an introduction to the principles behind renewable micro-grids. Students generate hydrogen by electrolysis, convert it into electricity with a PEM fuel cell and use it to drive the car, or run a circuit from solar or wind power. The activity materials cover conservation of energy and energy transfer, renewable energy, reversible electrolysis reactions and reaction rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is the car powered? Hydrogen generated by water electrolysis is converted into electricity by a PEM fuel cell, which then powers the car.
