The Horizon Fuel Cell educational set demonstrates how an ethanol fuel cell works and how ethanol is converted into electricity through oxidation. The electricity generated can power a small propeller, while the experiments explore polarity, fuel consumption, different concentrations, and the effect of temperature. The set includes pH indicator strips for measuring fuel consumption and allows you to generate electricity from ethanol and water, as well as from wine and beer.
The fuel solution is prepared using materials commonly found at home. A CD-ROM with experiment instructions and a user manual is included.
