5. Fuel Cell Car and Experiment Kit

The Thames & Kosmos Fuel Cell Car and Experiment Kit provide a playful introduction to one of the most significant technologies of the early 21st Century. With this kit you can build a model car that actually runs on water. First, add water and watch it separate into hydrogen and oxygen. Then, use those stored gases to power your vehicle across the floor. Now that we have your attention, roll up your sleeves and find out more through experiments and demonstrations you can do on your own, in a classroom or with friends. With this unique kit, you can build your own experimental reversible fuel cell car to learn more about this energy source. With more than 30 experiments and demonstrations, users will learn how a reversible fuel cell works to perform electrolysis as well as to create energy. The electricity required to activate electrolysis is created with a large solar cell included with the kit. During electrolysis, water is separated into hydrogen and oxygen and the resulting energy is stored as a gas. When needed, the gas is fed into the fuel cell, which then serves as the power source.

7. Global Sun Ovens and Enamel Roasting Pot

As energy prices escalate, more and more people are recognizing the need for resources that are better for the environment as well as your wallet. Enter Global Sun Ovens and the clean, free cooking power of the sun. The Sun Oven can reach temperatures high enough to boil water and even roast a chicken in a time frame similar to conventional ovens, yet uses no gas or electricity. In a Sun Oven, sunlight enters through a glass door, and the black surfaces inside the oven capture and transform the sun's energy into heat that cannot escape the chamber. You can bake, boil or steam your favorite recipes, and since the ovens' even temperatures prevent burning, food doesn't need to be stirred while it cooks. Also, the oven has collapsible sides, and at 21 pounds, is portable enough to be carried by a small child. So, cook your meals evenly and thoroughly while reducing your carbon footprint using the Global Sun Oven whether ice-fishing in Maine, camping in the middle of nowhere, or just sitting in your backyard.
