Educational kits & resources
Horizon fuel cell developed a complete line of renewable energy science experiment sets and battery-free toys. In 2009 we partnered with science experts and educators in the US to develop high value educational content and teacher manuals that will bring renewable energy to the classroom. The ressources section of this website offer a detailed look at fuel cells and other clean energy technologies, provide useful informatio as well as specially-designed animated explanations.
In the last few months, the Horizon team created numerous additions to our educational kits, including a new comprehensive textbook covering the topic of renewable energy science, free downloadable experiment manuals, teacher notes and classroom guides, animated flash demonstrations, and many media files. This newly developed content complements the award-winning educational kits and toys we have been developing over the last 4 years. We will be continuously updating and adding content to this section so be sure to check in regularly.
Designed as the “chemistry sets” of tomorrow, our kits are designed to explain renewable energy science in a classroom environment, for school projects and science fairs, or as fun and interactive activity sets for the entire family. Be sure to browse our online store to check out the latest products available for sale. For more information please download the complete educational products brochure here. If you need any spare parts, solar cells, fuel cells or miniature wind turbines please contact us here.

WindPitch is a miniature real-working wind turbine (wind power generator) designed for students to evaluate the pitch (setting angle) of the profiled blades. Up to 12 profile blades can be installed for evaluation. Learn how the blade pitch and number of blades affect the power output of the wind turbine to maximize the output power. Experimentation also teaches about stalling or reduction of the wind turbine's rotational speed to protect itself under strong wind conditions.
WindPitch includes 3 different types of profiled blades and 1 type of Poly-propylene sheet blades in a complete package that allows many blade parameters to be evaluated.The special 3 Phase AC alternator used in the WindPitch is similar to the one used in real commercial wind turbine. WindPitch comes with an LED Voltmeter / Music Maker Module to demonstrate the power created from the wind energy in the form of musical sounds and illuminated LED lights. Contained inside is a complete curriculum on wind energy with easy to follow experiment manual, assembly guide, and background history on the technology and wind power generators.

The Renewable Energy Monitor is an educational evaluation monitoring device with measurement software for graphical display of performance characteristics on your PC. It offers a 2 line LCD screen for viewing measurements that you cycle through at the push of a button – avoiding the multimeters confusing setup and cumbersome computations. The Renewable Energy Monitor is battery operated so it can also be used with or without a computer – indoors or outdoors – where you can make direct solar and wind measurements.
Horizon developed the Renewable Energy Monitor to allow you to avoid using the multimeters confusing setup and cumbersome computations in order to provide an immediate, graphical way for recording data directly- with no formulas and nothing to calculate. Numerous experiments and evaluation activities for hydrogen fuel cells, miniature wind turbine kits, and solar panels will now be quantifiable in real time for voltage, current, power, joules, resistance, and even RPM speed.
Compatible with any of Horizon’s clean energy educational kits!

This vehicle coming straight
from the year 2099 is running on clean hydrogen
fuel using a next generation reversible Polymer
Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell. Its new
design offers a futuristic feel for what
transportation could look like in the next
decades.Watch as oxygen and hydrogen gases are
formed in two transparent containers in the back
of the vehicle. 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.

Horizon's Fuel Cell Car Science Kit
uses a reversible PEM fuel cell that combines
electrolysis and power conversion into one single
device. Watch as oxygen and hydrogen gases are
formed in two transparent water containers. The
car steers independently of the user once in
operation: when the car hits a barrier, it will
automatically find its way by reversing away 90
degrees. This fun science kit combines
cutting-edge science, education and fun for all!

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 are electricity and pure water. Horizon has created a unique, patented miniature fuel-cell car and hydrogen refueling station. 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.
