User Submitted Thames & Kosmos Fuel Cell Car and Experiment Kit ReviewsDate: 2008-08-16 Best Fuel Cell / Solar Kit Available Very high quality components, I have used mine as a demonstration system extensively with no issues. PV cell operates in cloudy/lower light conditions much better than others I have used. Strongly recommend!!! Date: 2008-05-23 Great toy with a great message I bought this for my 15-year-old son who is very interested in alternative fuels and transportation, and it's incredible. My son played with it for about 8 hours straight and still does every chance he gets. The car teaches you about how a fuel cell works, and you get to see with your own eyes how simple the technology actually is. While I don't necessarily believe hydrogen fuel cells are the answer on their own, they will likely be part of the solution to our decreasing oil supply. The only negative thing I have to say about this item is that the rubber wheels tend to come off easily, so we've ended up running it without them. Date: 2008-03-06 Fascinating Solar Energy And Fuel Cell Experiments This kit teaches about solar energy, photo-voltaic electrolysis and fuel cells. A 100-page manual explains electrical concepts, shows how to use a digital multimeter to measure voltage and current, and guides through 30 experiments from simple measurements to pretty involved computations. I bought the kit for my 12-year-old son. I read the manual in advance and then guided him through it all. We then used the kit as the basis for a science project. The kit includes a solar cell to either produce electricity or break down water into oxygen and hydrogen to drive the fuel cell. It includes a car, cables, multimeter, fuel tanks, safety goggles, etc. Everything is high quality except for the cars wheels which are very flimsy. The manual is very good but the translation from German is choppy at times and flip-flops between metric and imperial units. Overall, excellent. Date: 2008-01-14 Great educational buy ! The product we bought, "fuel cell, car and experiment kit" is a great educational product. It is not only a toy, it is an educational product that deals with shaping up a youngster's future maybe. For the learning it provides, it is not expensive. Amazon.com is a great site with great service. We think this "toy" should be in every parent's shopping bag! (we work for a university and will use this "toy" for demonstrations to middle and high school students). It is the future of our students we are concerned about!
