About the H-racer H-racer H-racer is a futuristic toy car that contains one of the most exciting and advanced technologies is a futuristic toy car that contains one of the most exciting and advanced technologies Most of the world's automotive companies are developing hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with the hope of of the 21st century.
  • Page 4 Why Hydrogen? Indeed, hydrogen is the most abundant element in our universe and carries the most energy per unit of weight. This carbon-free fuel can be produced either using traditional or renewable power sources such as solar or wind power. Once captured, hydrogen can be converted back to usable energy in Our civilization consumes carbon-based fossil fuels 100,000 times faster than they are being made Our civilization consumes carbon-based fossil fuels 100,000 times faster than they are being made numerous applications, including cars.

    2. H-racer Assembly Instructions 2. H-racer Assembly Instructions List of parts and components: WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING A. Car chassis B. Car body C. Hydrogen storage cylinder To avoid the risk of property damage, serious injury or death: To avoid the risk of property damage, serious injury or death: D.
  • Page 7 Step 2 Step 1 Place the chassis (part A) on a flat surface. Position the fuel cell (part E) onto the square slot located in the middle of the car chassis behind the black motor - with the two nozzles on the fuel cell (part E) facing upward and the red jack of the fuel cell located below the blue gears of the motor (see 1A).
  • Page 8 Step 3 Step 4 Connect the second flexible tube (part G) to the nozzle located on the lid of the hydrogen storage cylinder (part C) (See 4A & 4B). Place the refueling input valve (part D) above the opening in the side of the chassis (see 3A). Slide the refueling input valve (part D) into its mount, located at the opening on the side of the chassis (see 3B).
  • Page 9 Step 5 Step 6 Now that the hydrogen storage cylinder (part C) is connected to the fuel cell (part E), position the hydrogen storage cylinder onto the two mounts located directly above the rectangular opening on the chassis. Once the cylinder is positioned on the two mounts, press lightly until it fits onto the structure. To avoid damage or breakage, be careful not to press the cylinder onto the mounts with too much force (see 5A &...

    Taking care of your Hydrogen Station: Hydrogen Station Do not use the for more than 20 minutes at a time. Once refueling of the H-racer Hydrogen Station is complete, turn the off and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
  • Page 13 Enabling DC powered operation: Slowly pour water into the water tank opening above the refueling station until the water level reaches the top (see 1D & 1E). Open the battery compartment located underneath the refueling station by sliding the cover according to the arrow (see 1A &...
  • Page 14: Creating Renewable Hydrogen Using Power From The Sun

    TIP: Use the solar panel power option outdoors in direct sunlight, and not in a confined or indoor location. Be sure to turn off the refueling station after refueling of the H-racer is completed. Continous operation of the Hydrogen Station will damage it permanently.

    5. Refueling and operation H-racer Hydrogen Station To refuel the with hydrogen you will need the , the gas purging syringe with valve (part F), and the additional input valve (part D) with rubber tubing (part G). H-racer ’s power system only accepts hydrogen as its fuel. If other gases are present, the fuel H-racer cell cannot operate and the car will not move.
  • Page 16 Step 5 TIP: To avoid air coming back into the balloon, stop pulling on the syringe once the balloon is empty - Find the gas purging syringe with connector valve do not go too far, as this will cause air suction once you disconnect. Do not let the air be pulled back (part F).
  • Page 17 By completing this essential purging step - you are removing atmospheric gases that have naturally penetrated the car's fuel storage system. The H-racer Look carefully at the balloon inside the car's on-board gas storage ’s power system only accepts hydrogen as its fuel.
  • Page 18 The hydrogen storage tank is now full and the H-racer is ready to race! To run the car, find a smooth, flat pushing the distilled water into the fuel cell. Allow this to sit for 10 minutes.
