Product Description
Build a car that runs powered by water - a working fuel cell car! Pour in the water and watch it separate into hydrogen and oxygen, forming a gas to power your vehicle across the floor! A fabulous science project. Discover how fuel cells work and learn about Green Energy. Fuel cells are one of the most promising means of producing energy for the future! They are environmentally friendly and desired because they do not consume fossil fuels. Thames and Kosmos have created the X7 version to be a simpler science kit for younger kids. It is based on the original version of the Fuel Cell Car. This science kit still has the award-winning model car with its unique reversible fuel cell not found in other fuel cell car models. The fuel cell car still functions in the same manner as the original Fuel Cell Car and Experiment Kit. In the X7 Fuel Cell Car version, the minimum age is lower and the instructions are easier for a younger audience. This fun experiment kit has been made accessible to more users, both in terms of content and price. It includes a new manual focused more on building and designing a fuel cell car, rather than the comprehensive lesson on the science of fuel cells and solar cells found in the first version. This alternative energy science kit has been optimized for simplicity and ease of use over thorough experimentation. Assemble a working fuel cell car Discover how fuel cells work Use a unique reversible fuel cell Learn about the potential alternative energies for automobiles Design your own fuel cell car Complete scientific explanations Full-color, 16-page manual Easy, step-by-step instructions for assembling and using the fuel cell car Requires 2 AA batteries and distilled water Ages 10+ |

Great Product by Susan (Las Vegas, NV)  5 Stars
January 10, 2009
I bought this as a gift for my nephew for Christmas. He was thrilled to receive it since he has an unsatiable appetite for anything science. He put it together easily and can't wait to learn even more about fuel cell technology. My sister homeschools her children and was thankful to have this teaching tool for her children.

Fun, attention-getting, well-designed & unique. by Dj Christensen (Potsdam, NY USA)  4 Stars
July 30, 2008
The model kit works well - will run for about 10 minutes on one "charge" of gas. This is not a kit for small children by any means - there are small parts and some parts are a bit fragile. The instruction book is good as a springboard to inquiry and for history, but is short on experiments - that's what the more expensive kit is for.
We originally put this kit together for a science fair/green expo and it had kids fascinated. If you're interested in learning about alternative power, there is some meat here for you.
