Experiment 1: Use a Solar Panel to Power
the LED Module
Connect the cables to the solar cell/panel and
circuit board to power LED module as shown. Make
sure black and red cables are used with the red
and black terminals respectively.
Connect the solar panel to the circuit board then to the motor base as shown. The fan may need
to be flicked with your finger to start.
Experiment 3: Preparation of the Electrolyzer Module and
Solar Powered Hydrogen Production
Insert the electrolyzer, terminals on top, into the slot on the base. Cut 2
x 4cm length pieces of rubber tube and insert a black pin into the end
of one tube. Place the tube with the black pin into the top pin on the
hydrogen side (with black terminal). Place the other tube firmly onto
the top input nozzle on the oxygen side.
Fill the syringe with DISTILED water. On the red oxygen side of the
electrolyzer, connect the syringe to the uncapped tube. Fill the
electrolyzer until water begins to flow out of the tube. Attach a red plug
to the Oxygen side tube. Let settle for 3 min.
Attach the round cylinders to the cylinder base by pressing downward
into round slots and twisting into place. Then add water up to the "0" line.
Cut out a 20cm length tube. Place it through the holes on the white
clincher, with the clincher 4 cm from the end of the tube.
Place inner containers into outer cylinders minding that the gaps are
not blocked by inner plastic rims. Make sure the water is still level to
the “0” line. If not, remove some water with the syringe so that water
level is at “0” line. Connect the tubings to the top nozzles on the inner
containers. If the tubing is connected to the inner cylinders last there
will be no air trapped inside the inner containers.
Connect the other end of the tube to the bottom end of the black
hydrogen side of the electrolyzer. Connect the other end of the tube to
the bottom end of the red oxygen side of the electrolyzer.
Connect the electrolyzer to the solar panel using the corresponding
cables and expose to direct sunlight. (Important: make sure connec-
tions are correct or permanent damage can occur. Make sure the
clincher is OPEN.)
The system will now start to produce oxygen and hydrogen in the
respective cylinders. When bubbles begin to surface in the hydrogen
cylinder the cycle is complete. Disconnect the electrolyzer.
Procedure for repeated gas production: Disconnect the small plugs
from the tubes connected to the nozzles on the electrolyzer. This will
allow water into the inner cylinders to replace the gasses and reset
water levels to “0” line. Re-insert the plugs into the tubes and repeat
electrolysis again.

ASSEMBLY GUIDE
What you need:
Experiment 2: Use a Solar Panel to Power the Small
Fan/Wheel Motor Module
Assembly of the small electric fan:
Connect small round white adapter to the motor axis. Connect the fan
blade to the adapter.
Assembly of the car wheel:
Firmly connect the other (tapered) white adapter to the motor axis.
Attach the small wheel to the adapter.

Experiment 4: Using a PEM Fuel Cell to Power the LED Module
Connect the fuel cell to the fuel cell base using the red and black wires. Make sure to connect the
black wire with the black terminals and red with red terminals. Now connect the LED module to the
base in the same manner.
You should see the LED lights begin flashing. If not, purge a very small amount out of the valve to
allow some of the gas to move into the fuel cell. As the LED light consumes electricity the fuel cell
will consume hydrogen from the cylinder and you will see the water level reflect the changes in
amount of gases consumed.
Experiment 5: Using a PEM Fuel Cell to Power the Small Electric Fan Module
Repeat the hydrogen production and fuel cell
preparation steps.
Next, connect the small fan/wheel motor base to
the fuel cell base to generate power to the motor.
Experiment 6: Using a PEM Fuel Cell to Power the Small Car Wheel Module
Repeat the hydrogen production and fuel cell preparation steps. Next,
connect the small fan/wheel motor base to the fuel
cell base to generate power to the motor.
Experiment 7: Using a PEM Fuel Cell to Power the Small Fan/Wheel Motor
Module and the LED Module in Parallel
Repeat the hydrogen production and fuel cell preparation steps. Next, connect the small
fan/wheel motor base and the LED module base to the circuit board. Then connect the circuit
board to the fuel cell module base to generate power to both modules in parallel.
USING FUEL CELLS TO CONVERT HYDROGEN TO ELECTRICITY
Preparation of the Fuel Cell System
Insert the fuel cell into the base with the red terminal on the same side as the red terminals on the base.

source.
EXPERIMENT 8
Experiment 10(alternative): Using the Battery Pack to Perform Electrolysis
(in the case of no sun or wind)
EXPERIMENT 10
Connect the red and black cables to the corresponding terminals located on
the wind turbine and reversible fuel cell. For best results using the WindPitch
to generate hydrogen using the included reversible fuel cell, setup the wind
turbine hub with (3) profiled blades supplied with the kit. Use combinations
of the A, B or C blades.
Set the blade pitch to 6 degrees. Make sure that the wind turbine is
generating AT LEAST 2.5 volts. If not, move the wind turbine closer
to the fan until it does. Also, make sure that the blade pitch is
between 10 and 15 degrees. The wind turbine is sensitive to this
setting at high wind speeds.
Allow the table fan and wind turbine to run for 60 minutes on
high wind speed setting to generate
sufficient amounts of
hydrogen and oxygen
gases that are stored in
the water/gas tanks.
Procedure for repeated gas production: Disconnect the small plugs from the tubes connected to the
nozzles on the reversible fuel cell. This will allow water into the inner cylinders to replace the gasses and
reset water levels to “0” line. Re-insert the plugs into the tubes and repeat electrolysis again.
Note: You may also use the battery pack to perform electrolysis (In the case of no wind source)
Make sure the switch on the battery box is in the "off" position before you
place the batteries into the box.
WARNING: If the cable is short circuited the batteries inside could
become hot and potentially cause burns, melting of parts, or create
risk of fire.
Note: Battery’s energy may be consumed after 4-5 times of use.
Please remove the screw from cover of battery box using a screw driver.
Push and slide the cover and open the battery box.
Try NOT to touch the cables when you open the cover.

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 container are blocked. If so, turn the inner contain-
er until water enters the holes and fills up the inner container.
2. The electrolyzer does not produce hydrogen and/or oxygen.
Solution 1:
Check whether the wires are appropriately connected, and whether there are any loose connec-
tions. 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.
Solution 2:
Replace the old batteries with new one in the battery pack.
3. The load cannot work while there is hydrogen left in the inner container.
Solution:
Push the green purging valve to release tiny amount of hydrogen. You can then observe the load
working well again.
4. The water electrolysis process slows down.
Solution:
Inject water to the oxygen side of the fuel cell by using the syringe and wait for about 3 minutes
before using the electrolyzer again.
5. No hydrogen is produced using the windturbine outdoors.
Solution:
If the wind speed is not sufficient electricity will not be created. Use a common desk fan with faster
wind speed to perform the electrolysis using the electrolyzer, or conduct the experiment under
stronger wind conditions.
6. If the fuel cell and/or electrolyzer becomes flooded with water
Solution 1:
Use the syringe to clear the water out of the fuel cell.
Solution 2:
Use the hair drier to blow hot air towards the fuel cell and the nozzles on each side. Make sure you
blow warm air towards the fuel cell.
7. The fuel cell can not generate electricity while there is hydrogen still left in the hydrogen container.
Solution 1:
Push the purging valve to release remaining amounts of hydrogen.
Solution 2:
Use the syringe to clear the water out of the fuel cell.
