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.

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.

	Are you ready to teach green energy technologies and help your students develop their environmental awareness? This classroom package can be used as a key part of your science, engineering, design or technology courses. The included hardware, software, and curriculum material take a blended learning approach to teaching Green Technologies with applied STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) activities throughout. Demand for energy is rising all over the world, while fossil fuel resources are dwindling and the climate is being adversely affected. Meanwhile the specter of climate change is looming. Science and technology can provide innovative solutions that will be needed to tackle these issues. Today's students will need a firm grounding in the scientific and engineering principles that underpin these technologies, if they are to contribute to the future of sustainable energy.

Activities include:

* Identify how the majority of global power
    generation is produced using fossil fuels
* Recognize the need for sustainable energy
    resources
* Investigate the science and impact of
    climate change
* Use solar panels to generate electricity
* Use a wind turbine to generate electricity
* Build a model wind farm or solar farm and
    evaluate their performance
* Fuel Cells: Use fuel cell technology to
    extract hydrogen from water
* Fuel cells: Use a hydrogen fuel cell system
    to power various devices
* Plus many more...

Some of the questions addressed by the experimental curriculum include the following and more:

* How does heat, shade, and tilt angle affect the solar panels
    performance?
* Which is the best number of blades on a wind turbine?
* How do the shape of blade and the pitch angle of the blades affect
    the wind turbines performance and output power?
* How to measure the RPM speed of wind turbines and how does this
    relate to output power?
* How to track the maximum power point for solar panels, wind
    turbines, and hydrogen fuel cells?
* How can solar and wind energy be harnessed to produce hydrogen?
* How to determine the minimum voltage required for water
    decomposition?
* How do fuel cells generate electricity from hydrogen and oxygen?
* What is the result of connecting multiple solar panels, wind turbines,
    and fuel cells, in parallel and in series, and how does this affect the
    voltage, current, and output power of the system?
* What would be needed to run your school using solar, wind, or
    hydrogen?
