PASCO's Hyrunner Hydrogen Car is an outstanding example of a promising energy source for the future. The hydrogen fuel cell is an amazing device that combines hydrogen with oxygen to produce water and energy. Hydrogen fuel cells boast an efficiency that is roughly twice that of internal combustion engines.
How it Works
· Place distilled water into the two storage tanks to force any air out of the gas collection chambers.
· Next, plug the included power supply into the hydrogen fuel cell. Using the energy from the power supply, the water in the storage tanks is electrolyzed, creating both hydrogen and oxygen gas.
· The hydrogen and oxygen accumulate in their respective tanks. Since there are two hydrogen atoms for each oxygen atom in a water molecule, twice as much hydrogen gas is collected. The hydrogen gas collection tank will be completely filled in about 2 minutes.
· Disconnect the power supply and the Hyrunner is ready to hit the road!
Features
· Rugged -- All components are designed to withstand years of student use
· Easy-to-Use -- Simply fill with distilled water, plug in the power supply for a couple of minutes and the Hyrunner is ready to roll
· No Methanol Required -- The Hyrunner uses distilled water as its hydrogen source instead of methanol
· Open Design -- Allows students to more easily understand the operation of the hydrogen fuel cell and use sensors to measure efficiencies
