Connect the pre-cut tubes firmly onto the
inner
storage
cylinders
short
nozzle,
connect the tubes opposite end to the upper
nozzles located on the upper positions of
both "H2" and "O2" sides of fuel cell shown
here. Make sure the tubes are connected
correctly to the corresponding sides of the
fuel cell.
For solar panel: remove the cables
connecting the solar panel to the fuel cell.
Turn the switch on the battery box to "off"
and remove the cables from the cable
sockets located on the fuel cell. Keep the
battery box switched to the "off" position
except during the time you are performing
electrolysis.
Connect the red and black
cables to the solar panel,
and connect the other
ends to the red and
black sockets on the
fuel cell.
Battery
Pack
ALTERNATE OPTION:
Connect the red cable from the
battery pack to the red socket on
the fuel cell and connect the black
cable to black socket.
Switch the battery pack to the "on"
position.
Electrolysis of water should begin with
oxygen and hydrogen being produced
and stored in each storage tank.
Wait until the bubbles in the hydrogen
tank start to escape from the inner
storage cylinder located in the H2
cylinder.
(Be patient, process can take 15–20min)
Remove the red and black
cables connected to the fuel
cell in "step 10".
Insert the banana plug cables from the
car's motor into the red and black plugs on
the fuel cell.
Make sure the colors of the plugs and
cables are inserted into plug socket of the
same color as in "step 10".
The motor should begin to power the car
and cause it to start in motion. The
estimated driving time on one charge is
about 3 to 5 minutes.
HYDROCAR TECHNICAL SUPPORT
1. The water levels do not drop when the gas outlet tubes on both sides of the
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.
2. The reversible fuel cell does not produce hydrogen and/or oxygen.
Solution:
a. Check whether the wires are appropriately connected, and whether there are
any loose connections. The fuel cell could be completely destroyed if the red
wire of the battery pack is connected to the black jack of the fuel cell.
b. Check whether the switch of the battery pack is in the "on" position.
3. The water electrolysis process slows down.
Solution:
a. Add water to the oxygen side of the fuel cell and wait for about 5 minutes.
b. Replace old AA batteries with new AA batteries inside the battery pack.
4. The car stops moving while there is still hydrogen left inside the tanks.
Solution:
a. Purge the gases and perform water electrolysis for 4-5 minutes. Unplug the
hydrogen gas outlet tube and oxygen gas tubes to purge the gases. Perform
water electrolysis again until the hydrogen tank is filled, and connect the motor
to the fuel cell. If the problem persists, go to the next step.
b. Let the water electrolysis process last about 10 minutes to consume the
residual water. To push water out of the fuel cell, purge the gases. Perform
water electrolysis once more until the hydrogen tank is filled, then connect the
motor to the fuel cell.
Note: Hydrogen fuel cells are consumables and have a life time of up to 2 years and we give
warranty for 1 year. You can buy replacement fuel cells from Horizon by placing online orders
