Fuel Cell Science Education Kit
ASSEMBLY GUIDE
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. To avoid injury please take care with the hot water.
2. Wearing waterproof gloves and glasses is strongly recommended.
3. To avoid injury please take care with the fan.
4. To maximize the kit’s longevity, clean the anode plate after each use
5. Store the anode plate in a clean, dry place.
Preparing the saltwater solution:
1. Weigh 15 mg of salt using the scale. Put the salt in the graduated container and add 25ml of hot water.
The water temperature should be around 90°C (363 K).
2. Mix the container’s contents with a spoon until the salt has entirely dissolved into the water. Sometimes
a small part of the salt stays in a solid state.
Experiment 1 : Create electricity from saltwater
Prepare the fuel cell:
a. Take the salt water fuel cell out of the packaging.
b. Note that the blue plastic top of the saltwater fuel cell plate extends below the lip of the saltwater fuel cell
tank. Squeeze both these blue sections at the same time to remove the SWFC plate from the SWFC tank.
c. Insert the fuel cell cathode into the slot in the base of the SWFC tank.
d. With the syringe, suck up some of the saltwater solution and transfer it to the SWFC tank until the tank is
about ¾ of the way full (above 15mL).
e. Take the SWFC plate and clip it into the SWFC tank as shown below.
