| Mini Fuel Cell Vehicle Gets Splinter-Cell Upgrade |

 A while back, there was a lot of talk about Horizon Technology's H Racer. The miniature hydrogen car (and it's accompanying electrolysis kit) was declared one of Time Magazine's Best Inventions of 2006. But the $115 H-Racer ain't got nothin' on the H-Cell kit, Horizon Technology's new fuel cell RC kit for grown-up kids with grown-up wallets. The H-Cell kit is a $1,500 drop in fuel-cell kit for a popular RC car chassis. The kit comes with the fuel cell, hydrogen tanks, fancy LED lights and a 'sleek aluminum casing.' An H-Cell vehicle can travel at 35 mph for over 1 hr, four times longer than a similar car running on NiMH batteries. The applications of this are, of course, limited. This fuel cell technology isn't ever going to save the world...that is, unless Sam Fisher has one, which, frankly, he should. More pictures and a video after the jump. Via Inside Green Tech

Science, technology gadgets and...baby seals. We're in a bit of an eco-mess, but we've got the brains to lick any problem. And that's why EcoGeek.org publishes up to ten stories daily about innovations that are saving the planet.
And if that sounds interesting to you, then congratulations, you're an EcoGeek.
