PRODUCT DETAILS

Suitable for: Junior School, Secondary School

The Bio-energy Science Kit is a great way to find out how a direct ethanol fuel cell works. Unlike most fuel cells which use either hydrogen or methanol as a fuel source, the Bio-Energy Kit is a working demonstration of the conversion of ethanol to electrical energy. The process is silent, requiring no combustion, and can run for hours. Explore the next generation of fuel cell technology.?

• Understand the principles behind ethanol fuel cell technology
• Hands on experimentation with novel technology
• Includes pH paper to shows the change in the physical properties of the of the consumed ethanol fuel
• Includes experiment guide on CD as well as a complete manual
• The fuel solution can be made with household items
