The H2GO Hybrid Electric Hydrogen Vehicle just started selling in time for Christmas. Although this remote controlled car isn’t quite as flashy as a big red monster truck, it’s the perfect working science project.

The H2GO Hybrid Electric Hydrogen Vehicle was the winner of the prestigious German Toy Award in Electronics and Technology. This is the first remote-controlled car fueled entirely by hydrogen. The fueling station is powered by a solar panel, and uses electrolysis to safely deconstruct ordinary tap water into hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Simply connect the fueling station’s plastic tube to the car and hydrogen gas transfers to the car’s patented fuel cell, where platinum plates compress the hydrogen and convert it into electrical energy to power the motors. The car maneuvers like a traditional remote-controlled vehicle, stopping and starting on a dime and executing tight turns, and it reaches speeds up to 6 MPH (80 scale MPH). The car operates for up to 6 minutes after the 3 1/2-minute refueling process. Fueling station operates for 1 hour after a 4-minute charge. Solar panel can also be powered by AC adapter.

Now if only they could make remote controlled cars that can run for hours instead of minutes.

The car costs $150.00. Click here to buy it.
