Miniature Hydrocar Runs on Water, Solar Energies

A miniature kit of a hydrocar that runs on water and solar energies is designed to educate children about the mechanisms of a future hybrid vehicle.

The kit is modeled on a hydrogen-based fuel car which uses a solar cell to electrolytically decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen and recombine the two types of gases to generate electricity for a motor.

The 21 centimeter-long car detects its forward route with built-in sensors which also guide it around obstacles. The easy-to-assemble miniature is for children 12 and over.

The Horizon Hydrocar is sold by Outride Brandship Builder Inc. for ¥19,950. .
