Step 3. Connect the engine wires which exceed the bottom of the car, to the closest red and black plugs.
Preparing the fuel Cell
Step 1. Put one 5 cm long tube on the end of the syringe as shown below.
Hydrogen powered car
what you need:
a. Water & hydrogen tank
b. Water & oxygen tank
c. Battery pack
d. Car frame
e. Silicon tubes
f. Reversible fuel cell
g. Syringe
h. Red & black pins for tubes
i. Wires
Step 4. Connect the solar panel and the car using the two remaining wires. Ensure to respect
the polarity shown by the color code.
Step 5. Place the car under direct strong sunbeams to make it run.
Important notes :
1. The O2 tube have to be moist inside before use. On the contrary, the H2 inlet have to be dry.
2. Ensure that the electrical connections under the car are tight.
3. Avoid any contact between the battery and water.
4. Use only distilled or purified water to humidify the fuel cell with the syringe.
5. You can set the wheels position using the steering on the front of the car.
6. Keep the reversilbe fuel cell in a sealing bag for storage.
Step 2. Suck up some distilled or purified water and push it into the fuel cell by the nozzle which is the
closest from the red plug of oxygen side of the fuel cell. As soon as the water flows out of the cell,
disconnect the syringe from the tube and let this one connected with the fuel cell.
WARNING: The polymer membrane on the oxygen side is an important part of the proton exchange
membrane (PEM) fuel cell, it should be prevented from drying out.
