This kit is a great learning tool. We use it for demos for middle school age learners as well as experiments in undergrad environmental studies. Highly rec you add it to your program. :)
Fascinating Solar Energy And Fuel Cell Experiments

This kit teaches about solar energy, photo-voltaic electrolysis and fuel cells. A 100-page manual explains electrical concepts, shows how to use a digital multimeter to measure voltage and current, and guides through 30 experiments from simple measurements to pretty involved computations. I bought the kit for my 12-year-old son. I read the manual in advance and then guided him through it all. Our plan is to use it as the basis for a science project. The kit includes a solar cell to either produce electricity or break down water into oxygen and hydrogen to drive the fuel cell. It includes a car, cables, multimeter, fuel tanks, safety goggles, etc. Everything is high quality except for the cars wheels which are very flimsy. The manual is very good but the translation from German is choppy at times and flip-flops between metric and imperial units. Overall, excellent.
Good Kit

This is a pretty good kit and very informative. Only problem I had was I thought the chassis would be a little stronger. While trying to plug the wires in, the chassis would deflect. I kinda worried about breaking it. Also, would be good if you let customers know they would need distilled water and a desk lamp. Not a big deal typically, but I ordered this for an event at the office and don't have access to desk lamps or distilled water at work.

My grandson received this as a Christmas present and was very excited about it. He immediately began learning about and assembling it.

Easy to follow instructions. Kids really enjoyed putting the car together. We haven't done all the experiments yet. However, the kids are excited to them. That says alot.

My children are very excited about their project for school. This product is very informative for children and adults. Great product along with a very detailed instruction book. We are still working on reading the introduction and basic operations. We have not completed an experiment as of yet, but we are excited seeing it work.
Good Purchase

Works fine. Just I thought it would be bigger. But that's not a big deal.

The item worked okay but not as advertised. The instructions stated the car would run on the light from a desk lamp. This is wrong. It took full sun before the vehicle moved at all. Since all the experts on the fuel cell depend on the efficiency of the solar energy, the process was tedious and boring for the kids. Basically, all it proved to my kids is solar energy doesn't work very well and they missed the point of the promise of fule cells.
