Renewable Energy Science Kit - FAQ
1. The water levels do not drop when the gas outlet tubes on both sides of the fuel cell are unplugged.
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.
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 blackjack of the fuel cell.
Make sure the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity.
Replace the old batteries with new one in the battery pack.
3. The water electrolysis process slows down.
Inject water to the oxygen side of the reversible fuel cell by using the syringe and wait for about 3 minutes.
Replace the old batteries with new one in the battery pack.
4. The motor does not run while there is hydrogen left in the inner container.
Unplug the black pin of the short tube on the reversible fuel cell and quickly attach the pin back to the tube to purge out impure gases. You should then see the motor beging to turn again.
5. No hydrogen is produced using the wind turbine outdoors.
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 reversible fuel cell, or conduct the experiment under sufficient wind conditions.
