Stem Education ‘Horizon’ | FUEL CELL STACK: ‘Edustak’ PRO Kit
$ 3,562.00 excl. GST
► This Stem Education EDUSTAK PRO KIT is a 10-cell fuel stack that demonstrates the fuel stack technology that is powering cutting-edge transport solutions and generators.
• Assemble your own fuel cell stack of individually connected cells and then power up with the refillable HYDROSTIK PRO metal hydride cartridges.
• No tools necessary to assemble the cell stacks so you can concentrate on creating your very own hydrogen powered applications.
• This ease of use makes it simple to scale the stacks to different power levels and integrate equipment such as sensors.
• Easy-assembly – no tooling required. The stack power is readily scalable and it’s straightforward to integrate sensors.
• Rated output power up to 4W. Optimal thermal management with air cooling circulation in each plate.
* Optional accessory for displayed graphical data to PC, add ENERGY MONITOR
Features:
• HYDROSTIK PRO with tubing and adapted pressure regulator. Comes with a complete instruction guide.
• (Horizon is the only company in the world that offers a classroom hydrogen supply that doesn’t rely on compressed hydrogen.
• 10-cell stack provides 20W power.
• Can be bundled with Horizon Energy Monitor for PC connect and software.
• Includes HYDROSTIK PRO with tubing and adapted pressure regulator. HYDROFILL PRO (optional) can be used for HYDROSTIK PRO charging.

WHY FUEL CELLS and HYDROGEN ?
► Fuel cells can be thought of as alternative energy devices.
They convert chemical energy into electrical energy.
Hydrogen fuel cells do this very cleanly, with no toxic emissions, and with a better efficiency.
Fuel cells do not generate energy out of thin air.
They use hydrogen.
Hydrogen is an outstanding carrier of energy.
► Hydrogen is non-toxic, renewable, easily obtained, and packed with energy.
When it combusts with oxygen, it turns into water.
This water can again be split into hydrogen and oxygen via electrolysis.
The generated hydrogen can be combusted once again, thus undergoing a limitless cycle without toxic emissions.
With a fuel cell, you can convert hydrogen into electric current without combustion.
Fossil fuels are converted into usable energy through combustion.
► The energy released during combustion is inherently difficult to capture and inefficient.
It also produces carbon dioxide, which cannot easily be converted back into a usable fuel.
A fossil fuel combustion engine at a power plant is only about 30 to 40% efficient.
This means it coverts only 30 to 40% of the energy in the fossil fuels to usable energy (electricity).
Engines in a car are even less efficient, and reach the level of 15 to 20% of efficiency.
Where does the rest of the energy go? It escapes as heat, vibration, and noise.
