H2Go - The World's First Hydrogen Powered Toy Car
The world's first hydrogen powered toy, called H2Go, was presented at the 2008 NY Toy Fair by a company called Corgi. The fully functioning prototypes Corgi brought to the show were very impressive and the best example of toy technology innovation at the show.
The remote controlled car is powered by hydrogen fuel which is separated out from common tap water through a device called the "Refueling Station", or as the company commonly referred to as the "cooker" Connect the car up to the cooker via a small fueling tube, press the plunger down on the cooker to force the hydrogen into the car, and away you go! The cooker and the remote control itself are powered by rechargeable batteries.
Corgi demonstrated a strong commitment to being as green as possible by quoting just what percentage of renewable energy was used through the combination of the different components that power the car. The car, cooker, and remote control sell together for $100. The solar panel, which can be purchased separately costs an extra $20. Without the solar panel, the cooker and remote control require a traditional electric outlet to recharge its batteries.

This is a cool toy.. But there is nothing revolutionary with this.. Its a elecrolyzis process that creates hydrogen from electricity.. And you have to refill the tank with water since it will go away as hydrogen and oxygen is produced, so the presenter was wrong there…. H2O you remember?

in japan there is already an actual car powered by water im sure this is not the first one. splitting hydrogen from water is not a new idea, it was propose by a filipino guy in 1970s and the first water powered car was invented by another guy in philipines in 1999 then japan bought it because philipine government would not support it(because its free they make no profit). US has know this all along.
