Alternative Energy Learning Activities

Generate your own sustainable energy by converting common organic waste into biogas with this easy-to-use kit.

With this collection of science kits, you and your students can explore the concepts behind and the many applications of solar hydrogen, direct methanol, and other fuel cell technologies.

Ideal for checking thermal efficiency

Use the PEM Electrolyzer to produce hydrogen and oxygen using only pure water and an external power source. Take your pick of power sources, all available from Horizon: small solar cell, wind turbines, fuel cells, mechanical hand cranks, or batteries. Using the high-tech proton exchange membrane, this tiny electrolyzer will produce hydrogen for use in any classroom or laboratory activities.

PEM fuel cells for education purposes, created by a leading industrial fuel cell manufacturer. Generate hydrogen using whichever Horizon kit you like and, once it’s applied to the fuel cell, stand back and watch as electricity is generated using nothing more than oxygen taken directly from the ambient air!

Make photographic prints using the sun.

Power three different solar vehicles — a solar speed boat, an air boat, and a surface submarine — using only the power of the sun. Build three vessels out of your recycled plastic beverage bottles then power them with the sun using the included 1/2 watt, waterproof solar panel. You can build a solar speed boat, an air boat, and a surface submarine. No batteries required.
