The book Fuel Cell Projects for the Evil Genius introduces you to a world of build-it-yourself fuel cell projects. Each project has detailed instructions and illustrations that help to take you step by step through a variety of fuel cell projects with a focus on the benefits of sustainable power sources.

Fuel Cell Projects for the Evil Genius is a great follow-on book from the author of Solar Energy Projects for the Evil Genius and is part of the range that also provided us with the book 50 Green Projects for the Evil Genius. This book covers in detail the  instructions for a range of sustainable energy projects. The book has 180 illustrations, detailed part lists, and complete plans that are simple to follow for a range of projects that will help you to conduct practical experiments and build environmentally conscious fuel cell projects.

The book explains the science behind the projects and the importance of sustainable and eco-friendly fuel cells to modern life. The benefits of hydrogen as a source of energy are discussed in detail, along with projects for creating a hydrogen barbecue, or even how to power your iPod with hydrogen. With its clear diagrams, schematics and detailed plans the book helps to explain how to create fuel cells yourself. The Do-It-Yourself projects also help build a persons understanding of the science behind these devices and so can be useful guides in educating someone in sustainable fuel cell energy.

The Fuel Cell Projects for the Evil Genius book is just $16.47 and qualifies for free delivery.

Hydrogen is abundant on this planet as the main component in water. Being able to make use of this element as a power source would lead to truly sustainable and clean energy. The fuel cell of the Hydro-Car allows hydrogen and oxygen to combine, producing electricity and water. This water can then be reused to extract hydrogen and oxygen so the system is one continuous cycle that can be sustained naturally. The Fuel cell is a reversible Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM).

The Hydro-Car uses electrolysis to separate the hydrogen and oxygen out of distilled water (provided by you). It stores this in the tanks located at the back of the car, to then combine the hydrogen and oxygen to power the car. The electrolysis though does require powering, and so the kit includes a solar panel to provide a clean source on energy to provide this. The kit does also come with a battery pack that requires two AA batteries that can be used instead of the solar panel.

Once the car has hydrogen and oxygen stored in its tanks it is ready to go. You can see when the car is running from its own hydrogen as two blue LEDs will light up and flash on top of the motor. The Hydro-Car is able to independently navigate around a room avoiding obstacles in its path, it can reverse until it discovers a clear path to travel along.

The Hydro-Car comes in kit form with detailed instructions. These instructions help to teach you about hydrogen power and its advantages and through making the kit and achieving a working car model you will have gained insight into how a hydrogen fuel cell works. The Hydro-Car makes a great educational toy to show children some of the latest eco-friendly energy ideas while being fun to operate.

The H2Go Radio Controlled Hydrogen Powered Car is probably one of the most advanced eco and educational toys you’ll ever see for children. Basically the car is powered using hydrogen gas, and can reach speeds of up to 6 miles an hour (which is a scale speed equivalent to 80mph!).

The H2Go kit includes a hydrogen fuel station that is used to transfer the hydrogen to the car itself. The solar panel is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen via electrolysis to top up the hydrogen fuel in the fueling station. If you’re short on sunlight, you can also use the included AC adapter to top up the fueling station.

The car will run for up to 6 minutes after a single 3.5 minute refueling process. The fueling station gives about an hours worth of hydrogen gas after just 4 minutes of charging, which is quite a lot of energy!

The Hydrogen car is much more expensive than the average eco-friendly toy at $147.95, however, it does use clean and eco-friendly energy and will run for hours on end. And as a further bonus, batteries are not required for the car (although you’ll need them for the remote control).
