Commercial exploitation, poor substance, waste of money by Ronald Madson (Statesville, NC) 1 Stars
November 11, 2009
I was looking for info for a project of mine and was unaware that the contents are aimed at children with well heeled parents. It has basic facts and a wealth of commercial kit tie-ins that would lead to nothing very usable save an improved balance sheet for the company. Avoid.

Written in too much of a hurry! by R. L. Hulme (New Zealand) 1 Stars
July 09, 2009
This book has obviously been written in too much of a hurry as it has important details left out, yet the pages are filled with useless items such as photos of a pack of table salt to show the reader what that looks like so they can buy it in the supermarket. It also does not describe how to make certain items for the projects, but instead refers to a part number from The Fuel Cell Shop. A very frustrating book to work with and I object to paying for what amounts to an advert for the authors favourite shop.

less than genius by Robert Elliott 1 Stars
June 09, 2009
I was very disappointed in this book as I was lead to believe that it held practical uses rather than the "model car" projects. The book index should have stated that the projects were all for model cars, etc. i would like to get my money back!!

Half way done by D. Lynn (TN, USA) 2 Stars
May 31, 2009
Bought this book with a keen interest to learn all I can about fuel cells and experimenting hands on is a great way to make it soak in. Most of the experiments in this book are only halfway explained. The required acids for example are left out of one, except where later is stated not to use a certain acid because its dangerous. After being left to dry on the first half of the book I stopped. Maybe later after I find other fuel cell source to answer my questions I'll finish this one.

It was very exciting to have all of this knowledge available, easy to understand and made it fun too.
