H-Racer

Juniper Foo | May 24, 2006

For a toy, the H-Racer is amazingly sophisticated. At a palm-sized 16 x 7cm, it's not only the world's smallest hydrogen car, the H-Racer is a working miniature of fuel cell vehicles to come. An external hydrogen refueling station feeds tiny (and safe) quantities of H to the car's storage tank to power it, producing fuel from water and the sun's energies tapped via a solar panel. How's that for cool? Not surprisingly, this picked up an Intel Environment award nomination in Silicon Valley's Tech Museum. What surprised us was that this came out of the labs of a Shanghainese company.
