This Toyota Mirai 1:10 Scale RC Car Actually Runs On Hydrogen
Yes, this mini Toyota Mirai runs on an equally small hydrogen fuel cell.
Toyota
turned to UK-based tech company Bramble Energy for a miniature fuel cell, a project which the company says was a challenge.
Basically,
a miniaturized version of Bramble Energy’s printed circuit board fuel cell systemwas created with the idea of fitting it into a 1:10 scale radio control chassis.
Two small hydrogen tanks that resemble AA batteries
are installed on either side of the board, feeding the hydrogen manifold in front.
It’s all mounted into a 1:10 scale chassis from Tamiya, the other partner Toyota called upon for this experiment.
Known for its wide range of scale radio-control cars, Tamiya supplied a TT-02 four-wheel-drive chassis for the foundation.
Why build a hydrogen-powered RC car?
According to Toyota, it’s not about creating a cool new toy.
Rather, it’s showcasing how hydrogen fuel cell technology can expand beyond automobiles.
