This Renewable Energy Racing Set has palm sized remote controlled vehicles that are entirely powered by mini-renewable energy powerplants. There’s a miniature windmill, a solar panel and a hydrogen fuel cell which can each provide power for the cars. In a pinch the remotes (which take AA batteries) can be used to quickly charge the cars too. It’s a pretty cool combination of green science and fun. Buy it for $89.95 at Hammacher.
[…] I’m on the fence with this one… it’s kinda cool, kinda lame. I mean, I like the idea that you can power your mini RC cars using wind, sun and hydrogen fuel cells. It’s just that the remotes run on AA batteries… and you can use the remotes to charge the cars… in case your solar charger is taking too long. You know, because it sucks? One thing these have going for them is that you’ll never need to get an insurance quote on your remote controlled car. Or, at least not these, since they’re about eighty bucks, and you’ll end up paying that much in premiums before long. source […]
