The process of creating hydro-electric energy is quite simple. It involves splitting a water particle (H2O) into its 2 components, hydrogen and oxygen (H2 + O), then joining them together again in a fuel cell, to create an electrical charge (e-).
When the H2 particles pass through the anode (positive) section of the fuel cell, the electrons become positively charged. When the H2 particles hit the O particles, the electrons flow out. This electrical charge can be used to power lights, heaters and, in this case, motors.
Instead of petrol fumes coming out of the exhaust pipe, only water vapour is emitted. This is because the H2 + O particles, once rejoined, create water (H2O), making this a truly eco-friendly product.
