Penair Engineering -  CUC visit

On the 9th of February 2015 Penair Engineering club and some of the science leaders group visited the Exeter university Penryn campus. The group met the team that entered the shell eco marathon with their hydrogen fuel cell car. They explained to us the features of their car and how the hydrogen and oxygen was split to store power that would be then used to power the motor. This inspired us to upload to the blog.



This is the chassis system devised to assemble and disassemble with
 no welding.








This is a model showing the miniature hydrogen fuel cells. the water is separated by the electricity from the solar cells, the motor is then connected to the fuel cell which has stored the hydrogen to make electricity.
