World's First Toy Car Powered by a Hydrogen Fuel Cell

Filed in archive Edge Technology on June 29, 2006

Measuring 6.5" x 2.8", the world's smallest hydrogen fuel cell car is entering the market today. Dubbed the H-racer, this futuristic toy car uses a real fuel cell that converts hydrogen fuel into electrical energy without combustion. The tiny amount of hydrogen used to power the car keeps the product user-friendly and safe for ages 8 years old and above.

Just like real fuel cell cars, the H-racer is a zero emissions vehicle. Better yet, no batteries are required to operate this toy - and for the first time, this toy car is really "refuelable", and not just with any fuel: 100% carbon-free and renewable hydrogen fuel!

Equally stylish, the Hydrogen Station houses a small electrolyzer that creates pure hydrogen using water and energy from the sun. It was designed so that Hydrogen can be produced at any time, any place, and by the user at the flick of a switch. During refueling, flashing blue LED lights illuminate small oxygen bubbles expelled from the Hydrogen Station's water tank, while the user can watch invisible hydrogen fill up the car's tank! Once refueling is complete, the car can store hydrogen on-board until you decide to switch it on and let it race! Interestingly enough, this miniature hydrogen refueling station is expected to be able to "refuel" other compatible fuel cell powered toys and gadgets in the future - watch this space!

The futuristic concept design of the H-racer is on par with the vision of many today's car companies and energy companies working to introduce fuel cell cars to the public in the coming decade. Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies, designers of the H-racer, integrated all components of a hydrogen system so that the entire renewable fuel production and consumption could be demonstrated in a safe and spectacular way.

The toy car retails for only $40, making this without a doubt the lowest priced hydrogen fuel cell product in the world today. Now everyone can enter the Hydrogen Age by owning an H-racer-click here to order one now: http://www.horizonfuelcell.com/buynow.php.
