green toy alert: Hydrogen Powered Hydrocar


hydrocar2.jpg

The Gulf oil spill has made it even all the more clear that we have to make our move to alternative energy asap.  This futuristic-looking hydrogen powered toy car, from Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies, can help make your kid’s transition to zero emissions technology a fun undertaking.

The Hydrocar is powered by a Reversible Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell.  Just add water and watch as oxygen and hydrogen gases are formed in two transparent containers in the back of the vehicle, which combine water electrolysis and fuel cell functions into one device.  The car will change direction when it hits something – blue LED lights flash from inside the cockpit for a little extra visual schnizzle.

And the car looks cool, too.

$99.95 @ amazon.com
