Description

• Direct ethanol fuel cell with a small chamber to hold ethanol solution: 90% water, 10% ethanol
• Solution keeps contact with cell's membrane on the anode side; cathode open to ambiant air
• Electricity is produced as solution slowly turns to vinegar until 100% converted
• A purge mechanism allows “fresh” ethanol to flow into reaction chamber and expel the used fuel
• Experiment set and desktop fan run 8 to 12 hours with a few drops of ehtanol
• Students can experiment with any kind of alcohol solution between 10 to 15%

Renewable Energy Education CD

• Renewable Energy Science Education Manual: Introduces renewable energy in seven chapters—Global Warming and Climate Change, Solar Technologies, Wind Technologies, Electrolyzers, Fuel Cells, Hydrogen Storage, and Basic Electronics
• Experiment Manual: More than 20 experiments for middle to high school level sciences in several sections—Solar Energy, Wind Energy, Energy from Hydrogen (Fuel Cell), and “Ultra Cool« experiments
