Horizon Fuel Cell Bio-Energy Kit

Includes

Ethanol storage, tubing, purging valve, supporting base, electric motor, direct ethanol fuel cell, wiring with crocodile clips, fan blade, ethanol solution mixing container, pH paper measuring strips, manual, and a Renewable Energy Education CD

Requires

Ethanol solution

Create electricity from ethanol and water.

• Direct ethanol fuel cell with a small chamber to hold ethanol solution: 90% water, 10% ethanol
• Solution keeps contact with cell's membrane on the anode side; cathode open to ambiant air
• Electricity is produced as solution slowly turns to vinegar until 100% converted
• A purge mechanism allows “fresh” ethanol to flow into reaction chamber and expel the used fuel
• Experiment set and desktop fan run 8 to 12 hours with a few drops of ehtanol
• Students can experiment with any kind of alcohol solution between 10 to 15%

Renewable Energy Education CD

• Renewable Energy Science Education Manual: Introduces renewable energy in seven chapters—Global Warming and Climate Change, Solar Technologies, Wind Technologies, Electrolyzers, Fuel Cells, Hydrogen Storage, and Basic Electronics
• Experiment Manual: More than 20 experiments for middle to high school level sciences in several sections—Solar Energy, Wind Energy, Energy from Hydrogen (Fuel Cell), and “Ultra Cool« experiments
• Flash Animations: Describe and show how a fuel cell works, different types of fuel cells, electrolysis, and various applications for fuel cells
• Assembly Guides
• Technical Support with videos
