The hydrogen fuel cell car is a kit which includes all the components required to assemble a fully functioning model electric vehicle, which is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. These parts include:
- Aluminum chassis
- MSP430 development board
- 2-channel motor controller
- Reflectance sensors and pushbuttons
- Brushed DC motors, gearbox and wheels
- Hydrogen fuel cells
- Beakers, gas storage vessels and connecting hoses
###Project Goals and Objectives The main goal of this project was to assemble and program a fuel cell car which would compete against other teams in a competition involving line following obstacle courses, system efficiency testing and overall design. One objective to assist in the line following obstacle courses was to design, implement and test a program which could interface with the onboard sensors to intelligently track lines and obstacles to complete the course efficiently and with minimal time. One further objective was to design a procedure for charging the fuel cell which would provide long term power output and efficiency. The final objective was to add additional features which would give the project a more appealing overall design.
##Media
An LED circuit was added to the fuel cell car to add more creativity to the design.
