Page 15 Troubleshooting 1. The water levels do not drop when the gas outlet tubes on both sides of the reversible fuel cell are unplugged. Solution: Check whether the holes on the wall of the inner cylinder are blocked. If so, turn the inner cylinder until water enters the holes and fills up the inner cylinder.
Page 16: Bio-Energy
Preparing a 10% ethanol solution: WARNING: DO NOT mix the fuel solution in the fuel tank (c), otherwise the fuel tank could be easily damaged. Bio-Energy Do not pour pure ethanol in the fuel container (b). The DEFC creates power using 5-15% alcohol only. A concentration higher than 15% could damage the fuel cell and make it stop working.
Page 17 Experiment 3: Ethanol fuel consumption Step 5: Remove the fan blade from the box. Step 6: Use the wires to connect the fuel cell module Push the blade onto the axis of the motor slowly to the fan module. Make sure you respect the color When the fan begins to run slower or stops running and carefully.

The fan begins to run slower or stops running completely Solution: Try using different types of alcohol such as wines made from grapes or rice instead of the ethanol/water a. Disconnect the fuel celll module from any load. Place the outlet tube above a container or suitable solution.
Page 19: Mechanical Energy
Step 1. Preparing the super capacitor module Mechanical Energy a. Insert the super capacitor support (g) into the base (f). Make sure they fit well. What do you need: a. Hand crank generator b. Potentiometer c. Super capacitor d. Heavy fan module e.
Page 20 c. Connect the other end of the cable from the hand crank generator to the potentiometer. Step 5. Power the electrical fan directly with the hand crank generator Ensure to respect the color code. After connecting the wires, rotate the arm in a circular motion to generate power. You should crank the arm to reach a speed of two revolutions per second, fast is better.
Page 21 Conduct dozens of exciting, hands-on experiments with the science kit What is a capacitor, how does it work ? Ideal as a battery replacement for a wide variety of basic electricity experiments, the hand crank generator A capacitor is an electrical component which is composed of two plates separated by an electrical is a low voltage power source that lets you create electrical current by simply turning a crank.
Page 22 IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. Take care with the hot water to not hurt yourself. 2. Wearing waterproof gloves and glasses are highly recommended Thermal Energy 3. There is a risk of being burned by the hot water. 4. Thermometers are fragile and if you break them, there is a risk of personal serious injury.
