The Horizon alcohol-fuel cell kit uses ethanol so fuel. Chemical oxidation converts it into electrical energy. At the beginning of the process, an ethanol-water mixture is added to the fuel cell. In a pipeline made of silicon, this mixture is then converted into electrical energy, which starts a mini turbine.

Includes:

• Description of how an ethanol fuel cell works
• pH paper indicates the consumption of the ethanol fuel
• Experimental guide on CD with complete manual
• The fuel is not included for legal reasons, but can be made by sugar fermentation
• fuel cell module
• fuel solution container
• Fuel tank with cover
• ventilation module
• Ventilation wings
• Silicone hoses
• clamp
• wires
• pH paper
• syringe
