Hydrogen powered toy car, just add water


As a micro environment, Corgi has created a neat little demonstration of a hydrogen powered car. This isn't the first hydrogen powered RC car, but it is getting attention at the Nuremburg Toy Fair this week.

The system uses a solar panel that charges the radio-control unit and provides the electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in a fueling station. The hydrogen fuel cell is recharged using the hydrogen released from the water. This would make a great science class demonstration.
