The Salt Water Engine Car Kit is a surefire adventure for a parent and child to embark on together.

Jam packed full of science, fun, creativity and environmental goodness, your 4WD Engine Car Kit looks fantastic once built and will teach your children about the potential of clean energy.

To run your car, simply add five drops of salt water onto the magnesium strips in your fuel cell and the engine will begin to run. This is due to a chemical reaction between metal and saline water.

Your car will run for around 15 minutes before running out of power!

Power your car with a flat boxer engine or beefy V8, the pivoting body and adjustable height make it the perfect four wheel drive for climbing over rugged lumps and bumps on your driveway!

Each snap together piece fits easily together without the need for glue. It should only take a few minutes to complete your design once you get the hang of it!

Your Salt Water Powered Fuel Cell Engine Kit teaches children how to use environmentally friendly energy with different engine configurations. It gives them a chance to improve their engineering skills!

What a wonderful way to get into the spirit of alternative fuel options and nurture your creativity. Build and experience your very own fuel cell car this summer!

Recommended for ages 8 and up.
Detailed instruction manual included.
Measures approximately: 9cm x 9cm x 12cm.
No batteries required, just add salt water to the DIY fuel cell.
