Junior Basic

H-TEC's Junior Basic, J101, is aSolar Hydrogen Experimentation Systemconsisting of a solar module, PEM Electrolyzer, hydrogen and oxygen storage tanks, a PEM fuel cell, and a fan (for electric load); mounted on a black base plate, and a textbook. The included H-TEC Education fuel cell textbook contains information about the technology and instructions for a variety of experiments.

The Junior Basic illustrates the simple elegance of the hydrogen cycle with a self-contained hydrogen system that is perfect for introducing the technology behind the solar hydrogen cycle, or for small demonstrations.

Recommended Grades: 5 - 12

Includes:

• Single Electrolyzer
• Fuel Cell H2/O2
• Solar Panel Cell
