00:00Recently, an intriguing innovation landed in the Zotaca Sciencia Inbox, the unveiling
00:11of the first remote-controlled car powered by the humble rings of soda cans.
00:16This ingenious creation is the brainchild of a student from the Universitat Politècnica
00:20de Catalunya, who alongside his professor, showcased this as a final-year project.
00:27Dubbed the DLH-2-Orene, a clever nod to the iconic DeLorean from Back to the Future, which
00:33famously ran on trash, the car operates using a fuel cell fueled by aluminum waste and water,
00:40with household caustic soda acting as a catalyst.
00:44The DLH-2-Orene's operation hinges on the efficient generation and transportation of
00:49hydrogen, a process initiated when aluminum interacts with caustic soda.
00:55This well-known chemical reaction produces hydrogen gas, which is then refined by filtering
01:00out hydroxide residues using a vinegar and water mixture.
01:05The purified hydrogen is stored in a silica ice ball container to remove moisture, enhancing
01:11its performance.
01:12Finally, the hydrogen powers a battery, generating electricity through a membrane that separates
01:18protons from electrons until they recombine in an oxygen-rich environment, producing water,
01:24heat, and the energy needed to propel the car.
01:28This innovative system is environmentally friendly, generating no CO2 emissions and
01:33effectively closing the aluminum life cycle.
01:37By repurposing residual aluminum, it mitigates the pollution typically associated with aluminum
01:43extraction.
01:45The byproducts, hydrogen, aluminum hydroxide, and soda residues, can be reused, embodying
01:52a sustainable approach.
01:55The DLH-2-Orene holds significant potential in educational settings, serving as a tangible
02:00example to illustrate fuel cell operations and the sustainable life cycle of materials.
02:07Moreover, it promises to drastically reduce the cost of combustion packs for radio-controlled
02:12cars, slashing expenses from around €4,000 to approximately €600, all without the need
02:20for an electrolyzer.
02:22Expert estimates suggest that powering a 5 HP vehicle for an hour would require about
02:273 kg of aluminum, while a 60 HP engine would need around 30 kg.
02:34The primary challenge now lies in refining the circuit and recharging system.
02:40The inventors are already in discussions with companies to explore the project's feasibility
02:44further.
