Drive a Hydrogen Powered Car Today

Get your hands behind the controller of the latest H2Go fuel-cell electric vehicle. The solar panel generates electricity to recharge the controller and electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen at the refueling station. With a little sunlight and water, this car has a range of five minutes between fill-ups.

The manufacturer, Corgi International, won the 2008 ToyAward at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. The technology for this product and others is made by Singapore's Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies. Other hydrogen gadgets they have powered include the H-racer, Hydrocar, H-cell kit, and the experimental HyFish.

While the H-racer is an earlier model of the H2Go, Hydrocar is an integrated toy vehicle that generates its hydrogen fuel supply on-board, eliminating the seperate refueling station.

The H-cell kit will retrofit any 1/10 scale remote-controlled (RC) car using a Tamiya TT-01 chassis to run on hydrogen. An air-cooled fuel cell replaces the 7.2V NiCad battery and three metal hydride canisters store up to 70 minutes of run-time fuel.

The HyFish, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by Stuttgart’s DLR Institute for Technical Thermodynamics, is the first fuel-cell powered jet. Only four feet long, the experimental aircraft is capable of speeds exceeding 120 mph.
