This bio-energy education kit from Horizon is a miniature power plant where ethanol is the feedstock. The fuel cell uses hydrogen in the ethanol to produce electricity without combustion, and can be used to perform the following experiments:
Create electricity from ethanol and water
Exploring polarity
Ethanol fuel consumption
Exploring the effect of varying fuel concentrations
Create electricity from wine or beer
Exploring the effects of temperature
Supplied with the kit: fuel cell module, fuel solution container, fuel tank with lid, fan module, fan blade, silicon tubes, clamp, wires, PH paper and syringe.
- Understanding the workings of an ethanol fuel cell
- pH paper shows change of property of the consumed ethanol fuel
- Includes experiment guide on CD, as well complete manual
- Fuel solution can be made with household items
- Manufacturer's part FCJJ-42
For 14 year-olds and upwards.
