To live sustainably, we must use Earth’s resources at a rate at which they can be replenished, and thus provide for future generations to live as we have. In this kit, you can learn about alternative energy and sustainable living by conducting experiments and building energy-related models. Thirty of the best experiments and the ten most important building projects from the original Power House kit are presented in this new Green Essentials Edition.

The ten building projects include: the power house itself, a greenhouse, a solar cell array, a passive solar collector, a solar oven, an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a hydrometer, a ...

A fuel cell is an enviromentally friendly energy production device that holds great promise for the future. With this science kit, you can build a model car that runs on water and sunlight using a hydrogen fuel cell. See for yourself how the car of the future can drive without using fossil fuels.
This car uses a unique reversible fuel cell, which can split water in a process called electrolysis and also generate electrical energy. First, energy from sunlight is converted into electricity with the solar panel. The electricity separates water into hydrogen and oxygen gas. These gases are stored in separate tanks at the back of the car. ...

The Thames & Kosmos Fuel Cell Car & Experiment Kit provides a playful introduction to one of the most significant technologies of the early 21st Century. With this kit you can build a model car that actually runs on water!

First, add water and watch it separate into hydrogen and oxygen. Then, use those stored gases to power your vehicle across the floor. Now that we have your attention, roll up your sleeves and find out more through experiments and demonstrations you can do on your own, in a classroom or with friends.

With this unique kit, you can build your own experimental reversible fuel cell car to learn more about ...

Hydrogen Powered Car

A fuel cell is an environmentally friendly energy production device that holds great promise for the future. With this award winning science kit, you can build a model car that runs on hydrogen gas using a unique revesable fuel cell. See for yourself how a car can work without any fossil fuels.

First, use the fuel cell to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen gas. Then, plug in the motor and the fuel cell uses these gases to produce electricty that moves the car across the floor or table. The only by-product is clean water.

The special Proton Exchange Membrane in the fuel cell allows ...

People have been using the wind’s energy for thousands of years to travel, power machinery, generate electricity, and for agriculture. Generating Wind Power will teach young readers about the benefits of harnessing the wind for everyday use. This fascinating new book features full-color illustrations and photographs, as well as case studies from around the world.

This amazing new book tells why solar power is becoming a very real replacement for our current energy sources, with detailed images featuring different types of solar collectors, solar thermal plants, and solar cells.
