Press release:
Hobby RC Industry Leaps into the Future with Hydrogen Power
SINGAPORE – February 3, 2010. Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies are about to turn science
fiction into reality for millions of hobby RC enthusiasts by introducing the world’s first hydrogen
fuel cell power system for hobby-grade radio controlled vehicles, which can also be refueled
using model-scale hydrogen refueling stations.
The new add-on kit replicates the function of real-scale zero emission hydrogen cars currently
being developed by the world’s leading automotive manufacturers.
Radio controlled vehicles are a global phenomenon with its own clubs, racing events,
competitions, magazines, and a great variety of models and spare parts that can be purchased at
thousands of hobby stores. Built to look like real cars, boats or planes, these fast and technically
sophisticated machines are built from the ground up by hobby RC enthusiasts of all ages, and are
typically powered by high performance batteries, miniature combustion engines or even
miniature jet engines.
Named H-cell 2.0, the new hydrogen fuel cell power kit was designed for high performance
radio controlled touring cars, but is also adaptable to other electric RC vehicles, robots or boats.
Besides being a real-working technology demonstrator for vehicles of the future, the system
extends the runtime of today’s battery-operated RC vehicles by a factor of three to four.
Horizon spent 2 years developing the solution which now also has a unique refueling system that
automatically extracts hydrogen from water, and stores it as a solid form in the vehicle’s onboard
hydrogen storage. The miniature storage tanks contain metallic alloys that adsorb
hydrogen into their crystalline structure and release it back at low pressures, enabling the highest
volumetric energy density of any form of hydrogen storage – including liquid hydrogen.
The model scale hydrogen refueling system is adaptable to solar panels or wind turbines to
produce a completely carbon-free and futuristic experience, effectively demonstrating an energy
cycle that completely eliminates greenhouse gas emissions.
“In my 30+ years of experience in electronics for consumer, aerospace, and automobile
industries, I always look for the most innovative products to either use or modify and redesign
for my applications” said Dr. Akis Doganis, a Silicon Valley veteran and currently Technical
Director at TSMC. Dr. Doganis is also a passionate hobby RC enthusiast. “Speed, handling and
longer time between pit stops are the desirable criteria for winning in hobby racing. I used the
H-cell 2.0 hydrogen fuel cell power system to build a winning R/C car with great performance,
an extraordinary look, and never before observed endurance. My plan is now to develop an
optimized hydrogen powered R/C car that will outperform any others in its class, perhaps even
start a new class of high performance competition R/C cars” concluded Dr. Doganis.
While the scientists and engineers at Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies continue to develop zero
emissions solutions targeting real-scale transport and residential applications, they are starting to
commercialize a variety of products for today’s smaller-scale applications, such as hand held
electronics, portable generators, and recreational power devices. The company’s high energy
density power systems capability is also being applied towards the development of new
generations of silent electric reconnaissance aircraft that can fly several hours on a single charge.
The new fuel cell power kit for model scale RC racing will be unveiled to hobby professionals
and enthusiasts at the upcoming Feb 3-9 Nuremberg Toy & Hobby Fair, by Horizon Fuel Cell
Technologies (Hall 11.1 / Booth C-34).
