Build Your Own Saltwater Buggy

The POWERplus Junior Bob Cat is a DIY STEM construction kit that allows children to build a working buggy powered by a saltwater fuel cell. It combines hands-on construction with energy-based learning.

Saltwater Fuel Cell Technology

The vehicle runs on a magnesium-air (Mg-Air) fuel cell. After adding a small amount of saltwater solution, a chemical reaction generates electricity to power the motor—no batteries required.

How the Model Works

The saltwater acts as an electrolyte, enabling a reaction between the magnesium plate and oxygen from the air. This reaction produces electrical energy, which drives the motor and moves the car forward.

STEM Learning Through Practice

This kit introduces concepts such as alternative energy, basic chemistry, and energy conversion. It supports learning through building, testing, and observation.

Racing Buggy Design

The model features a lightweight buggy structure designed for smooth movement on flat surfaces, adding an engaging play element after assembly.

Skill Development

Building the model helps improve fine motor skills, logical thinking, and the ability to follow instructions. It also encourages curiosity about science and technology.
