Hydrogen Powered Toy Car
What to get for your budding engineer offspring? How about a hydrogen fuel cell toy car? Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies has patented a toy car with its own hydrogen fuel cell and requisite hydrogen fueling station. The fueling station uses solar energy to power the process of producing hydrogen from water via electrolysis and is complete with flashing blue LEDs (to excite the young scientist of course). From there the hydrogen can be transfered to the car’s fuel cell for powering its electric motor. Since the amount of hydrogen used is rather small, the process is quite safe and is an interesting look at where the future of automotive power may lay.
Not currently available, the toy car is rumored to be priced at $80 when released. One thing that’s interesting to note is that per Horizon’s brochure, the fueling station is listed as being sold seperately. That seems a bit odd for something fairly pivotal to the whole concept.
