A step-by-step instructional series on hydrogen RC vehicle assembly, fuel cell integration, and system operation. Developed as part of the Hydrogen Grand Prix (H2GP) educational initiative at Cal State LA.
Overview
This series provides hands-on instructional modules for building and operating a hydrogen-powered RC vehicle. It covers mechanical assembly, fuel cell integration, system configuration, transmitter control, and hydrogen storage preparation.
The goal is to support STEM education in clean energy systems and provide practical training in hydrogen-based technologies.
