Horizon
FCJJ-11 Fuel Cell Car Science Kit

 FCJJ-11 Fuel Cell Car Science Kit

Horizon's Fuel Cell Car Science Kit uses a reversible Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cell that combines electrolysis and power conversion into one single device. Watch as oxygen and hydrogen gases are formed in the two transparent water containers. The car steers independently of the user once in operation: when the car hits a barrier, it will automatically find its way by reversing away at 90°. Included in the box is a Renewable Energy Education Manual as well as an Experiment Guide. This science kit combines cutting-edge science, education and fun for all!

  • Demonstrates how hydrogen could be used as a 100% clean fuel for cars in the future
  • Car can steer independently of the user once in operation
  • When the car hits a barrier, it will automatically find its way by reversing and turning 90°
  • Great kit for students to construct together and learn about this great new technology

Horizon
FCJJ-24 Renewable Energy Monitor

 FCJJ-24 Renewable Energy Monitor

The Renewable Energy Monitor is an educational evaluation monitoring device with measurement software which allows graphical display of performance characteristics on your PC. The REM can also display readings on the built-in LCD screen meaning it can be used with or without a computer, indoors or outdoors. The data gathered using the REM can then be used to optimise your renewable energy experiments and maximise the performance. Numerous experiments and evaluation activities using hydrogen fuel cells, miniature wind turbine kits, and solar panels will now be quantifiable in real time for voltage, current, power, joules, resistance, and even RPM speed. Compatible with any of the Horizon range of clean energy educational kits.

  • The Renewable Energy Monitor allows graphical display of performance characteristics on your PC
