Product Description

Product Description

The car of the future is yours today. Hydrocar runs on clean hydrogen fuel using a next-generation reversible Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell. No batteries required for actual operation - just add water! The kit's fuel cell unit combines water electrolysis and fuel cell functions into one device. The car steers independently of the user once it hits a barrier, and cool blue LED lights flash from inside the cockpit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Picture is NOT what you receive!, December 7, 2008

By	Disappointed - See all my reviews

I just received the Hydrocar that I ordered from this listing. The car I received was NOT the one in the picture. The H2 Racer is pictured. I didn't realize there were two different cars. I'm very disappointed in the misrepresentation. The H2 Racer is a remote control car separate from the water (just like in the picture). Go to Horizon's website to see what you'll get if you order this item.

Had high hopes. Our scientific childen (capable in robotics) enjoyed setting it up and we were all extremely disappointed that it would not move. Waste of money. Components are interesting though. Little comfort when the item doesn't do as advertised.

I picked this kit up for my 19 year old son who is majoring in engineering. He loved it - was his favorite Christmas gift. He brought it back to college with him. It doesn't run very fast, but the technology is fascinating. When it bumps into something it knows to turn a different direction. Needs distilled water, but not much. This was a surprise hit.
