Want to teach your kids about the value of Fuel Cell technology and being environmentally friendly? How about getting them the H-Racer, a toy fuel cell powered race car for Christmas! This fun little toy is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell and will drive for over 100 meters on a single tank. Refueling the vehicle is done by connecting it to the included, solar powered, hydrogen refueling station. The following quote is taken from the H-Racer website:

Cars running on clean and renewable fuel are the dream of many of today’s world leaders, engineers and scientists seeking to eliminate mankind’s reliance on fossil fuels in favor of climate-friendly energy resources.

With new advances in technology, hydrogen is on its way to becoming the world’s next fuel. Hydrogen offers many important advantages: it is non-toxic, renewable, clean to use, and the most abundant element in our universe. And by using fuel cell technology to convert hydrogen to electricity without any combustion, the technology is a significant solution to many of our global energy and environmental problems.

No combustion occurs inside a fuel cell. The only exhaust resulting from hydrogen fuel cell cars is pure water. Fuel cell cars that use hydrogen as a fuel are also known as “zero emission vehicles.” Today, many of the world’s automotive companies including Toyota, GM, Ford, Honda, and Daimler-Chrysler, are developing hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with the hope of introducing this technology to the public in the near future.
