Green Christmas Gift Idea #4: The Hydrogen Generating Car only $79.95 at Discovery Channel Store

Okay I know what you’re thinking and don’t worry, the risk of creating Hindenburg-type flames in your house are pretty small. The Hydrogen Generating Car contains a fuel cell and runs on hydrogen gas, one of the contenders for the fuel of the future (personally I prefer electric cars/hybrids). It also demonstrates the conundrum of building a hydrogen economy, as the gas is a fuel but not an energy source. You have to make it first. The Hydrocar’s fuel cell splits water into hydrogen and oxygen to create its own fuel. To power that reaction, the kit comes with a solar panel, but you need direct sunlight to make it work. The fallback is regular alkaline batteries. The kit requires some assembly and is for ages age 12 and up (under adult supervision of course).
