Use the solar panel to turn solar energy into hydrogen

Connect one end of the red and black cables (B) to the solar panel (A).

Connect the other end of the cables to the reversible fuel cell (C) being careful to match up red plug

with red socket and black plug with black socket (see L). If you cross the wires, or do not connect

these cables correctly, the reversible fuel cell (C) could be permanently damaged.

Position the solar panel in the face of strong sunlight outside.

Look closely at the reversible fuel cell (C), you will notice water is slowly being displaced.

Use scissors to cut out another 16cm long tube.

Connect one end of this tube to the top nozzle of the inner oxygen container. Connect the other end of the

tube to the lower nozzle located on the oxygen side of the reversible fuel cell (see I).

Pour about 40ml distilled or purified water into the outer hydrogen and oxygen containers respectively

(reach upper 20 marks on the outer container - see J).

Note: The water filling container is not provided in this set. You can use any other water container, but

make sure the container you use is clean.

Disconnect the red pin of the short tube on the oxygen side of the reversible fuel cell (see K). You should

observe that water fills the inner container. Once it is full, connect the red pin back onto the short tube.

Repeat the same step on the hydrogen side. If the water cannot flow into the inner container please see

Note on page 11 to solve the problem.
