Product Description

Own a car of the future -- A palm sized racer, this miniature zero emission vehicle operates on 100% clean fuel. Using advanced technology, this race car comes complete with its own fuel cell and on-board hydrogen storage system. A solar powered hydrogen refueling station is included to convert water to hydrogen. You won't need any batteries to power this car; just add water and watch it roar. -- The H-racer is a micro-version of what engineers and scientists have been dreaming about for real cars: combining hydrogen with oxygen to generate a DC current to power an electric motor. Unlike a gas-powered car engine, the only byproducts of this electrochemical process are electricity, heat and pure water. -- Recently named as one of the Best Inventions of 2006 by Time Magazine, the H-racer is now the best selling fuel cell product in the world, and Edmund Scientific brings this tangible vision for a viable hydrogen economy directly to you. -- With the H-racer, you can witness the power of new energy technology in the palm of a hand. The Refueling Station creates hydrogen by electrolysis using water, and once the car's hydrogen tank is full, the car can run on its own hydrogen fuel-cell system, with the simple flip of a switch. -- Actual size of H-Racer is 6.5" X 3.5" and Fueling Station measures 4" high by 3.5" wide. -- -- Resources: -- » H-racer Brochure (PDF) -- Recommended age 12+

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

Disappointed - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sleek H-racer and Hydrogen Station (Toy)

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.

For kids who are interested in seeing the technology of hydrogen fuel cell in action this is a great educational toy. Need adult supervision for younger kids attempting to put it together.

This review is from: Sleek H-racer and Hydrogen Station (Toy)

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.
