Build a car that runs powered by water - a working fuel cell car!
Pour in the water and watch it separate into hydrogen and oxygen, forming a gas to power your vehicle across the floor! A fabulous science project.
Discover how fuel cells work and learn about Green Energy. Fuel cells are one of the most promising means of producing energy for the future! They are environmentally friendly and desired because they do not consume fossil fuels.
Thames and Kosmos have created the X7 version to be a simpler science kit for younger kids. It is based on the original version of the Fuel Cell Car. This science kit still has the award-winning model car with its unique reversible fuel cell not found in other fuel cell car models. The fuel cell car still functions in the same manner as the original Fuel Cell Car and Experiment Kit.
In the X7 Fuel Cell Car version, the minimum age is lower and the instructions are easier for a younger audience. This fun experiment kit has been made accessible to more users, both in terms of content and price. It includes a new manual focused more on building and designing a fuel cell car, rather than the comprehensive lesson on the science of fuel cells and solar cells found in the first version. This alternative energy science kit has been optimized for simplicity and ease of use over thorough experimentation.

Interesting, educational toy

I bought this car for my scientifically-inclined 11 year old. He was able to put it together quickly (under 15 minutes). It works as advertised, and runs 10-15' before running out of power. We did have to fiddle with the connections a bit, using rubber cement to keep some of the tubing in place, but that wasn't a big deal. What I wish this product had, though, was more explanation of how it worked. There is one sentence describing how the special fuel cell breaks down water into hydrogen and oxygen for fuel (presto!), but no explanation of how or why or how it could be done on a larger scale. This is a fun toy, but you'll need to bring in outside knowledge to make it more meaningful.
One word for other gift givers, though: you MUST use distilled water to run this vehicle, so make sure you buy some before you give the gift. No other water will work.

The Fuel Cell X7 worked great with the exception of one nonstandard jack on the fuel cell that was too small for the motor or battery lead to be inserted. After a little jury-rigging, the lead stayed in place and the kit worked just as expected.
