Stem Education ‘Horizon’ | FUEL CELL: Hydrogen Cell 2.0 (H-CELL)
$ 2,158.00 excl. GST
► This Stem Education Hydrogen Cell 2.0 H-CELL fuel cell allows you to create your own hybrid hydrogen-electric applications which replicates the technology of real-scale hybrid vehicles, improving electrical batteries with the addition of hydrogen fuel that has extremely high energy density.
• Acceleration is still drawn from the existing batteries while the H-CELL provides hydrogen power for cruising and the vehicle can run up to four times longer than with the battery alone.
• The system is designed with RC hobbyists in mind and is optimized for 1:10 scale vehicles.
* To recharge the HYDROSTIK PRO cartridge: the HYDROFILL PRO hydrogen source is required.
** Optional accessory for displayed graphical data to PC, add ENERGY MONITOR
Features:
• Includes hydrogen storage, supply (optional) and electronics.
• Designed for 30W hybrid power in model cars, boats, robots, and more.
• Integrated electronic valves and regulators for reduced volume.
• Compatible with HYDROFILL PRO hydrogen supply system.
• Ideal introduction to the principles behind hydrogen hybrid engineering.

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.
