Bio-energy Science Kit - product overview

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

 

Bio-energy Science Kit Experiments
