Have You Ever Wondered How a Hyrodgen Fueled Car and Renewable Energy Actually Works? Here’s a Fun Way to Learn How!
- Powered by solar panel or hydrogen fuel
- See-through design to see how it works
- Alternative power teaching aid
- Educational yet also a fun toy
- One of Time Magazine’s best inventions
The Fuel Cell H-Racer is a fun, interactive tool for both kids and adults to take a hands-on approach in learning about how renewable energy works. The H-Racer can be powered by either solar energy or hydrogen fuel. When using the solar panel, energy from the sun will power the fueling station and charge the car’s fuel cell. To power the racer with hydrogen the fueling station needs to be filled with water so that it can draw hydrogen from it; the connected tube will then transfer the hydrogen to the car’s fuel cell for power. The H-Racer was labeled as one of Time Magazine’s best inventions. Included with the kit is a renewable energy educational CD to help further educate users on these cutting edge technologies while also providing an experiment manual and assembly guide. The Fuel Cell H-Racer works great as a classroom teaching aid or for educational entertainment at home.
Avoid Costly Water Damage to your home with the INSTEON Water Leak Sensor
The risk of water damage in a home is high. In fact, it is one of the most common home insurance claims. Every year millions of homeowners suffer billions of dollars in losses. But these losses can be reduced or even avoided altogether with the new INSTEON Leak Sensor.
Leak Sensor alerts you so you can stop the leak before damage to your home occurs. Simply add as many sensors as you’d like to the INSTEON Hub* (sold separately) and get instant alerts delivered via text/email to your smartphone. The INSTEON Hub also allows you to add cameras for remote monitoring, motion sensors, door/window sensors and of course control over lighting and appliances in your home.
*The Leak Sensor transmits via radio signals. The INSTEON Hub communicates via power-line only. Please be sure to have a Range Extender/Access Point or other dual-band INSTEON device installed for communication between Leak Sensor and INSTEON Hub.
For more advanced applications, consider HouseLinc or ISY-99. Together with a leak sensor you can activate a whole-house water shutoff valve when water is detected. These solutions also provide text/email alerts as well as more advanced conditional programming.
This easy to use, battery powered leak sensor can provide the early detection necessary to prevent leaks from creating major damage to your home.
The INSTEON Leak Sensor installs quickly and easily – no need to run wires or drill holes. Simply place the sensor near where water leaks may occur. Some common places are:
- Washing machines
- Toilets
- Water heaters
- Sinks
- Refrigerators (water filters)
- Dishwashers
- Basements
- Water Softeners
Solar and Hydrogen Fuel RC Car Brings Education and Fun Together
- Powered by solar panel or hydrogen fuel
- No batteries required
- Alternative power teaching aid
- Educational yet also a fun toy
- Real-working model of vehicles using hydrogen fuel
The H2GO Hybrid RC Car from Horizon combines next generation alternative energy education with all the joys of a toy remote controlled car. This entertaining teaching aid makes the H2GO kit an ideal tool for both kids and adults to take a hands-on approach in learning about how renewable energy works and the applications it possesses. The H2GO Hybrid RC Car can be powered by either solar energy or hydrogen fuel. When using the solar panel, energy from the sun will power the fueling station and charge the car’s super-capacitors as well as its remote control. To power the racer with hydrogen the fueling station needs to be filled with water so that it can draw hydrogen from it; the connected tube will then transfer the hydrogen to the car’s fuel cell for power. The H2GO Car doesn’t require the use of any batteries and is a real-working model scale version of current vehicles that are being powered by renewable and zero emission hydrogen fuel. Read More
Go Green with a Clean Energy Generator
- Modular clean energy experiment set
- Learn about renewable energy step-by-step
- Put the full system together or use each individually
- Includes a variety of clean energy generators
- Renewable energy educational CD learning aid
The Renewable Energy Education Kit from Horizon features a variety of miniature, clean energy producing technologies designed to teach, step-by-step, how they work. The modular small-scale set features a PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cell, wind turbine, a hydrogen storage system, solar photovoltaic panel, and an electrolyzer. Each of these renewable energy generators can be used individually or altogether to form a full renewable energy system, or farm. Also included with the kit is a renewable energy educational CD to help further educate users on these cutting edge technologies while also providing an experiment manual and assembly guide.

Stovetop Guard Brings Increased Safety to Your Kitchen
- Barrier between child and hot stovetops
- Compatible with 30″ wide freestanding stoves
- Prevents burns from scalding water, pans and burners
- Metal construction will withstand temperatures up to 400°F
- “Mom’s Tested Seal of Approval” from Parents Magazine
Over 5,000 children are burned seriously enough by the stove to require emergency room medical treatment every year according to the American Burn Association. The RangeGuard Stovetop Safety Guard was invented with this in mind as it acts as a barrier between young children and the potential dangers they might encounter from freely reaching their hand up onto a stovetop. Simply put, water heated up to 150°F will cause a third degree burn in just 2 seconds of contact. The RangeGuard is designed for use with most 30 inch wide freestanding stoves and while it is not a substitute for adult supervision it will act as a safety aide for the momentary distractions that are inevitable. It is made of durable metal with a special powder coated finish to withstand temperatures up to 400°F. A curious child will still want to pull on the safety guard to find out why you keep using the stove but not to worry because the Stovetop Safety Guard will withstand up to 15 lbs of pulling pressure on each side. The RangeGuard Stovetop Safety Guard does not require the use of any tools during installation and can be setup in a matter of minutes. It has been given the “Mom’s Tested Seal of Approval” by Parents Magazine. Read More
