Racing H-racer, the world’s smallest Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car

by colbert low on June 27th, 2006

Talk about cool. Forget batteries. This toy car runs on fuel cells and you might see a bigger version in your friendly car dealer soon. If this fad takes on, I’ll quit my job as a blogger and open a shop selling this to rich kids as the cost of a H-racer and the Hydrogen station adds up to USD $80. The air does smell better now and make sure the tap is running. Get one H-Racer here from Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies Pte Ltd, a China based company.

H-racer. The smallest and coolest hydrogen fuel cell car in the world ! Witness the power of new energy technology in the palm of your hand. That’s right - this car does not need batteries! The car uses a real fuel cell and its own on-board hydrogen storage system. Use this accessory to fuel the H-racer with an unlimited supply of clean energy. To create free hydrogen fuel at the flick of a switch, just add water to the station’s tank! Fueling is animated by a special blue light display.

    Here is how it works:

    The oil and auto industry consider the battery industry to be a failed technology that can never be made or delivered in the form factor, price point, range or efficiency that they care about. (It doesn’t matter, for this argument, what YOU think.) So they got together and used “layered anti-evangelism” to manipulate the battery industry.

    “Layered anti-evangelism” is an intelligence agency third world manipulation device that works like this:

    1. Select the target: In this case it is hydrogen fuel cells, which have been demonstrated to beat batteries on every business front.
    2. Select your internal agents. In this case lobbyists and “writers” that are paid by the oil and auto industry.
    3. Have the agents contact and talk to the “sheep”. In this case the sheep are the writers for battery industry trades and heads of battery lobby or support organizations.
    4. Have the agents convince the sheep via skewed data provision. In this case selected reports were written and then shown to the sheep to convince the sheep that hydrogen fuels cells would steal their funding, put them out of business and that the only source of hydrogen was from the “evil oil companies”.

    So you have battery evangelists who are anti-hydrogen sheep:
    Ulf Bossel of the European Fuel Cell Forum
    Alec Brooks- EV World
    Sam Thurber

    Yet for every manipulated argument they come up with, they are shot down by hundreds of sites with facts, ie: http://www.rmi.org/sitepages/pid985.php

    WHY? Because you can make hydrogen at home and the ability to do it fast, cheap and clean is coming 40 times faster than they thought.

    This happened, using the same process, to:
    1.) Electric light rail in America (US Vs. National City Lines, 334 US 573)
    2.) The EV1 (Movie: Who killed the electric car)
    Etc.

    I now have one and it is cool! To answer all the questions:
    only goes straight, no remote, $80 includes car & station & solar panel, it runs between 2min and 4min, it goes about as slow as an 8 year can stand to walk or about as fast as an 80 year old can walk, no can fit inside, delivered in 6 days from shanghai, good fit and finish but car pulls slightly to the right (5cm over 3m).
    All round - great toy.
