The Car of the Future

Chapter 1 The Solar-Hydrogen Innovation

Fuel Cell 10

Solar-Hydrogen Fuel Cell

Take a moment to

envision the car of

the future. Instead of

revving up with a loud

roar of the engine, it

will hum quietly along.

Nothing but water

vapor will escape from

its cool exhaust pipe.

Stretching out on the

roofs and ﬁelds along

the roadways will be

photovoltaic modules

— “green” power plants

creating electricity for

the future car’s fuel:

hydrogen.

Under the hood, you

will ﬁnd an engine made

of a fuel cell, battery, and

electric motor, along with

a hydrogen tank. Gone

will be the days when

cars spewed toxins into

the atmosphere. Is this

image of a pollutant-

free electric car charged

by solar energy just

a dream or wishful

thinking? Well, the ﬁrst

hydrogen-powered

vehicles are already on

the road today, but the

technology is stilled

being perfected and a

large-scale hydrogen

distribution system still

needs to be developed.

With the fuel cell car model in this kit, you will see that an

environmentally friendly car is achievable. Its heart is the

fuel cell, which turns hydrogen gas and oxygen into water

and supplies electricity to the motor in the process.

It can also work in reverse to separate water into its ele-

ments hydrogen and oxygen, thereby creating its own fuel.

The solar panel supplies the energy for that.
