Based in Singapore, Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies develop a range of PEM or Polymer Electrolyte Membrane fuel cells which are currently being used in hydrogen powered devices such as remote control cars and educational kits. The line of educational products include renewable energy, solar hydrogen and fuel cell car educational kits so that children can understand and visualize clean energy principles and applications. Their range of toys include the H-Racer, which has an on-board hydrogen storage system and comes with a solar powered hydrogen re-fueling station, the Hydrocar, which combines a water electrolysis system and a fuel cell with an independent steering system, and their latest product, the H2GO which won the the 2008 Toy Innovation Award at the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, Germany on the 2nd of February. In the future the company plans to expand the range of applications for their PEM fuel cell. The H-Racer and Hydrocar are now on sale from their website for US5 and US respectively.

World’s 1st Hydrogen Fuel Cell Jet-Wing UAV

 

April 2007 — An unmanned hydrogen fuel cell powered “jet-like” UAV made history this week as it took to the skies over the hills of Bern, Switzerland. The “Hyfish” astonished its creators as it flawlessly performed vertical climbs, loops and other aerial acrobatics at speeds reaching 200 km/h. The successful maiden flight was the result of one and a half years of cooperative development between the German Air & Space Center (Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luft-und Raumfahrt) and a number of international partners including Smartfish for the plane design, Druckon, Baltico, and Teknizentrum Ainet. A record performance 1kW fuel cell and hydrogen system weighing just 3kg and capable of powering the small jet was supplied by Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies of Singapore: www.horizonfuelcell.com
