The i-H2GO is a remote-controlled car developed by Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies and Corgi International that runs on water…and a smartphone app.

It works because SCIENCE: “You pour water into the refueling station and it is electrolyzed (split into hydrogen and oxygen) by power from a solar panel. The high energy hydrogen is directed into the car and converted to electricity to run it. On a cloudy day you can also use a USB charging cable to electrolyze the water.”

Currently, the app is only for iPhones, but an Android app is being developed.

The whole she-bang — car, refueling station, and charging panel — will set you back about $180 and shipments begin August 15.
