H2Go - The World's First Hydrogen Powered Toy Car

The world's first hydrogen powered toy, called H2Go, was presented at the 2008 NY Toy Fair by a company called Corgi. The fully functioning prototypes Corgi brought to the show were very impressive and the best example of toy technology innovation at the show.

The remote controlled car is powered by hydrogen fuel which is separated out from common tap water through a device called the "Refueling Station", or as the company commonly referred to as the "cooker" Connect the car up to the cooker via a small fueling tube, press the plunger down on the cooker to force the hydrogen into the car, and away you go! The cooker and the remote control itself are powered by rechargeable batteries.

Corgi demonstrated a strong commitment to being as green as possible by quoting just what percentage of renewable energy was used through the combination of the different components that power the car. The car, cooker, and remote control sell together for $100. The solar panel, which can be purchased separately costs an extra $20. Without the solar panel, the cooker and remote control require a traditional electric outlet to recharge its batteries.

Not sure what the deal is with YouTube. This used to play fine. I'll see if I can find the source and make an update

a pity its only a toy.

whats up with the sound?

Looks like no one can control this car, needs more engineering.

Hydrogen is a fuel source of the future. It is clean and abundant. Researchers have also came up with a way to create it spontaneously and without much use of electricity.
