 PEM Electrolyzer Cell 5
 The PEM Electrolyzer separates water into hydrogen and oxygen.  It is operated with distilled water and requires no caustic solutions or acids.
 
• Permissible Voltage: up to 2VDC
• Permissible Current : up to 1.5A
• Hydrogen Production: up to 10mL/min
• Oxygen Production : up to 5mL/min
• Electrode Area: 2.9 cm²
• Requires Commercial distilled (deionised) water with a conductivity of < 2 μS/cm
• Dimensions (H x W x D): 2.0" x 2.0" x 1.6" (51 x 51 x 41 mm)
• Weight: ~2oz (58 g)
 
 The graduated hydrogen, oxygen, and water storage cylinders visualize the classic hydrogen separation experiment, as in the Hoffmann apparatus.
 
• Gas / Water Capacity Per Tank: 30 cm3
 The PEM Fuel Cell generates electrical energy from hydrogen and oxygen or hydrogen and air. It is based on PEM technology, which is the most widespread technology used in the development of fuel cell applications, e.g. for motor vehicles or stationary power supply systems.
 
• Power in Hydrogen and Oxygen Mode: 900 mW
• Power in Hydrogen and Air Mode: 300 mW
• Electrode Area: 2.9 cm²
• Generated Voltage: 0.45 - 0.96 V DC
• Dimensions (H x W x D): 2.0" x 2.0" x 1.6" (51 x 51 x 41 mm)
• Weight: ~2oz (58 g)
 
  Provides electricity to run the model’s PEM Electrolyser
 
• Cell Area: 90 cm²
• Open Circuit Voltage: 2 V
• Current: 350 mA
• Power (MPP): 500 mW
 
 
• Power: 10 mW
• Dimensions (H x W x D): 4.8" x 1.4" x 2.1" (135 x 40 x 60 mm)
• Weight: 2.3 oz (66 g)
 
• Plug Size: 2 mm
Instructional Textbook
 The textbook contains information about the technology and instructions for a variety of experiments.
 Metal Base Plate
 A black metal plate that allows you to connect the magnetic bases of each item on to it.
 Entire Tutorial Basic Set
 
• Dimensions (H x W x D): 5.5" x 17.7" x 15" (140 x 450 x 380 mm)
• Weight: 2.8 pounds (1.25 kg)

1) The fuel cell only produces low power.

Cause: The cell has been stored for a very long time or is too dry. A cell with a dry membrane will lose power.

Solution: Continue operating the cell. The cell will moisten itself during operation and gradually return to full power.

2) The electric load connected to the cell does not work, despite hydrogen being present.

Cause: Water has gotten into the fuel cell (e.g. via the storage tank). Drops of water in the fuel cell can block the gas feed and lead to a rapid loss of power.

Solution: Dry the cell by opening the connectors and blowing through the cell.

3) No hydrogen is produced by the electrolyser when the solar cell is connected.

Cause: The light intensity is insufficient.

Solution: Check the power specifi cations designed for the light source. You need suffi cient sunlight or halogen lamps with focused light such as the Sun Simulator Light.  Energy-saving lamps, fluorescent tubes, etc. are not suitable for the operation of solar modules.

4) The electrolyser does not work despite being set up correctly.

Cause: You have not used distilled water. The cell is permanently damaged
