Description
This kit consists of single components, such as a solar module, PEM electrolyser, hydrogen, and oxygen storage tanks, PEM fuel cell, PEMFC kit, and fan (for electric load); each with magnetic base for modular arrangement on a base plate and textbook. The included H-TEC Education fuel cell textbook contains information about the technology and instructions for a variety of experiments.
The Tutorial Pro allows you to run solar experiments to power the electrolyser and collect the generated hydrogen and oxygen gases in the storage tanks. Then, you can use the gases for the PEM fuel cell to generate power for either the H2/O2 or H2/Air mode. This kit also provides the opportunity to build a self contained solar hydrogen system or fill up a hydrogen powered model car with its' own solar hydrogen station.
