fuel cell - R.C. car with wireless camera powered by H2

[vicasteja0]

Hello,

I'm working in a RC fuel cell car and I'm very interesting to find out where did u buy the fuel cell and the metal hydride cartridge. Also, if the connection between the plastic tube and the cartridge was included when you purchased it. Furthermore, how did u manage to refill the cartridge once it run out of hydrogen?? Thanks

What is your last name?

Hey it's me Michael I've been trying to do dhiz all day can you PM me for evrything and even give me your number so that you can help me

[jeff42951]

Do you have a website I can visit that sells fuel cells like that?

[nazgul60]

vey nice fiuel cell, ill hve a 7.4v 4 amp one for my r/c car please :D

( although it would probly be alot less powerfull than my twin lipo pack it would be twice as cool to make up for it )

[duado2008]

Hmmm.....Yeeessssss.........I would like to know how you measured the voltage and current of the motor using a manometer? For those of you who don't know a manometer is for measuring pressure. It would make sense if you used a multimeter, but not a manometer.

nice hydrogen fuel cell! but the car is really quite shit ent it.

[gargara]

Can your send to me the project to see how it works in details. I want to see because I'm curios to see how do you charge with electrolisis the cells if there is no other power source.

[snakesonaplayne6]

you guys should make it with a hobby grade car, with a brushless system. Other than that it looks awesome!

[Dairuga9]

Wow, you guys are going to be the people that save our cars in the future! (Yes, its confusing for me, too)

[PlayTronicz]

Well done man!

Thats a work of art.

[qtip5o6]

Hey, really cool, id love to try it, can u give me the link to the site where you got your fuel cell from?

I also might try blowing this up to a bigger scale and using a carbon fiber paintball tank to hold the hydrogen, will this work?

[screwbushcomegetme]

since you used it to convert energy to electric and know some stuff. do you think it would ever be possible to run the car with a little oc engine running from hydrogen? im guessing since oc engines use so much energy it would never work. oh and i bet you could do basically the same you guys did with a standard co2 cartridge ill send an email to cause id like to try something bigger than that

[Mjaeger72]

If you have any specific questions about the car please or us please post your questions.

Once again please don't make comments about the possibility of this car working or not because it does. How else would we have been able to win 3rd place....... Thank you and have a nice day.

[die4sk81]

ok you've proved me wrong and im very sorry for that, but i never thaught that it would work on that little tank but with all your information its gotta be real

thanks cya...!

@Mjaeger72 Hi, ive been looking for a wireless camera for my RC car for a long time and cant seem to find what im looking for. What i want is a camera that can deliver a live feed back to me on a monitor. Can you recommend anything?

[Mjaeger72]

We took this car to a competition in Philadelphia last year 2007 through a organization called SHPE and we won 3rd place in a national design competition. Stanford and Carnage Melon took 1st and 2nd. Not bad for San Francisco State University.

Message to the previous commenter: Please do your homework before talking about things you don't understand. the tank that we had does hold a lot of hydrogen in it because in it there is a material called a metal hydride. This material needs to be activated by applying several cycles of high pressure to it. When done it acts like a sponge sucking in a lot more hydrogen.

[Mjaeger72]

When the hydrogen hits the first plate some electrons come off of the hydrogen and go through a usable circuit. The hydrogen molecule passes through the PEM. On the other side the hydrogen recombines with the electrons and with O2 which is flowing across the 2nd plate. H + 02 = H20 which is one of the two byproducts of a hydrogen fuel cell. The other is heat. If you can stack several of these plates one after another it creates a larger potential. Our fuel cell was able to produce 6V and 2A.

[Mjaeger72]

Hello. Jackie and I made this car. We used a small battery to power the camera. The car was powered off of the hydrogen fuel cell. The way a hydrogen fuel cell works is as follows. Inside the fuel cell there are several stacks of plates. Each stacking consists of two plates, a positively and negatively charged plate. Between the plates is a PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) which only allows positively charged atoms to pass through (like hydrogen).

[die4sk81]

ha ha ha very funny as all these people are so dumb........... HE PUT THE BATTERY UNDER THE CASE OF THE CAR !!!!!! theres no way, that little tank is gonna power that car, for sure!! and if i am wrong then... someone post a video with SOME proof that it really will work thanks!

[Casew2]

Actually, that would work. My college has one similar to this. Learn to think before you type.

[cooljenner1]

where did u get the wireless camera drom

[mosbars]

whats the difference between different percent fuels?

[moss1transcendant]

i heard you can extract hydrogen more efficiently if you try it in a vacuum chamber also. its not difficult to get hydrogen out of water whats difficult is getting people who know the fundamentals of the process to share it openly and to educate others for the good of humanity.

im sure theres many variations to get more efficient mephods of extraction and of a more controlled manor.

tassla ( i probably spelt his name wrong) cracked electricity but his work has been repressed and debunked.

nice job my friend,

i m ahlane at china

[cougarsmits]

boring ist friggin S L O W god just go by gas

[CaptCamping]

Recommend next time make the video inside then take the car outside. i was not able to hear very well and keep shooting the car at close range.

[wtaras]

very cool - looks like this is powered by a H-12 Horizon fuel cell?
