Saltwater Fuel Cell Kit that combines a saltwater electrolyte with magnesium plates to generate renewable electrical energy.
The Saltwater Fuel Cell Kit allows you to introduce students to saltwater fuel cell technology in your lessons.
Spin a mini turbine or create your own renewable energy applications.
This form of energy is ideal for small islands in the sea to generate their own clean energy in the future.
The salt in the water is used as a catalyst. In other words, salt accelerates the reaction between magnesium and water.
Mg + 2 H2O → Mg(OH)2 + 2H + 2e-
1/2 O2 + H2O + 2e- → 2OH
2 Mg + O2 + H2O → Mg(OH)2
NB. After a number of experiments, the magnesium plate will need to be replaced. Contact us to order new plates.
EXPERIMENTS:
Investigate voltage and current at different salt concentrations
Examine voltage and current at different temperatures
Investigate voltage and amperage at different amounts of magnesium
