Horizon Wind to Hydrogen Science Educational Kit

Horizon Wind to Hydrogen Science educational kit

The Wind to Hydrogen educational kit enables pupils to invent their own clean energy applications using a small electric motor powered by a fuel cell. Hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of water using a reversible PEM fuel cell, which in turn is powered by a wind turbine with streamlined blades based on NASA aeronautics. This hydrogen is then converted into electrical energy by the fuel cell and can be used to power a small fan.

This kit offers a comprehensive exploration of stoichiometry, reaction rates and other chemistry concepts in generating hydrogen from wind energy. Students can use physics concepts such as angular velocity and drag force to design and build an efficient wind turbine. This is a practical and engaging introduction to the principles of renewable microgrids.
