Description
Wind to Hydrogen Science Kit – product overview
The Wind to Hydrogen Science Education Kit enables students to invent their own clean energy applications using a small electric motor powered by a fuel cell. Hydrogen is produced through water electrolysis by a reversible PEM fuel cell that is itself powered by a wind turbine with profiled blades based on NASA aeronautics. This hydrogen is then converted to electrical energy by the fuel cell and can be used to power a small fan.
- Explore stoichiometry, reaction rates, and other chemistry concepts by generating hydrogen from wind power.
- Use angular velocity, drag force, and other physics concepts to design and build an efficient wind turbine
