Horizon RC H-racer 2.0 with Hydrogen Station

The only thing ordinary about this RC car is its fuel source -- plain tap water! And if you think RC cars and education don't go together, think again: the Horizon RC H-racer 2.0 with Hydrogen Station will teach your child a world of hands-on lessons in alternative energy. Building on the success of the original H-racer, this new version boasts longer running/play time and more speed than ever.

Right out of the box, this kit zooms your child down the road of cutting-edge renewable-energy science as he assembles it from high-tech parts. To charge it up, all he needs to do is put water in the fueling station, and use the included solar cell to transform it into zero-emission hydrogen fuel. Then it's on to the 'racetrack,' where he'll cheer as it zips along on limitless energy, with him 'at the wheel' courtesy of the IR remote control! Both the car and the hydrogen fueling station have transparent windows so your curious child can observe their inner workings in action.

Kit includes:

• hydrogen fuel cell car assembly parts (finished car size approx. 6 in. long)
• hydrogen fueling station
• solar cell
• IR remote control

The innovation and learning don't stop there by a long shot -- this complete educational alternative-energy kit includes a thorough Renewable Energy Science Education CD with the following:

• Renewable Energy Education Manual: A comprehensive introduction to renewable energy in 7 chapters: Global Warming and Climate Change, Solar Technologies, Wind Technologies, Electrolyzers, Fuel Cells, Hydrogen Storage, and Basic Electronics
• Experiment Manual: Designed for Middle School, High School and beyond, it contains more than 20 experiments that introduce students to renewable energy theories, data logging software, and activities that inspire even more green projects.
• Explanatory Flash Animations: These animations demonstrate to your child a fuel cell's parts and show how it works, as well as highlight different types of fuel cells, electrolysis, and fuel-cell applications.
• Assembly Guide
• Video Technical Support

There's really no end to the fun with this kit -- its hydrogen power source keeps going and going, easy for your child to recharge over and over and over... The fueling station can also be powered by two AA batteries (not included).

The H-racer 2.0 is a mini vehicle just bursting with big renewable-energy ideas, ready to drive your child into the future!

Ages 12 and up.
