There’s been a bunch of cool innovations in remote control applications as of late, but none raise the cool meter as much as the The H-Cell 2.0 [hydrogen fuel cell power kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-showcases). It brings hobbying to a whole new level.

The H-Cell 2.0 kit can be MacGyvered onto any high-end [remote control vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remotecontrolled-cars) essentially transforming the toy into an alternative fuel burner. It even comes with a [solar or wind powered water-to-hydrogen converter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tacoma-h2overlander-concept) and has enough jam to go 50mph for about an hour.
