HAMMACHER SCHLEMMER HAS THE WORLD'S SMALLEST HYDROGEN FUEL CELL CAR, WINNER OF TIME MAGAZINE'SBEST INVENTION AWARD
New York, NY, December 7, 2006 — This Holiday season Hammacher Schlemmer has 25 award-winning toys including The World's Smallest Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car, winner of Time magazine's Best Inventions Award.
"Hammacher Schlemmer is proud to provide the best for our customers and this lineup of award-winning toys represents just a few of the high-quality products available from us," said Joe Jamrosz, Corporate Sales Manager for Hammacher Schlemmer. “Our toy selection spans a variety of age levels and interests, making it easy to find a gift for everyone on your list."
The 2006 Time magazine Best Inventions Award was given to exceptional products in a wide range of categories. While The World's Smallest Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car is indeed a toy, it was selected in the transportation category for its genius and innovative design pioneering the use of hydrogen fuel. The car uses the same technology that international automobile companies are implementing to develop zero-emission vehicles. Fueled entirely by hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, the car is powered without combustion while emitting only water from the exhaust system. Refueling takes 10 minutes and the car can run in a straight line for three minutes. For only $129.95, ecologically-friendly parents and car enthusiasts everywhere are eager to get their hands on this advanced toy.
Other Hammacher Schlemmer award-winning toys include:
Desktop Music Composer – Evoking the inner maestro in every child and winner of the prestigious Oppenheim Toy Award, this alarm clock allows you to create up to 1,159 different electronic sound and lightscapes simply by placing different audio modules on the base unit. Seven multi-colored plastic audio transmitting modules correspond to a particular instrument or theme, including Cosmic, Strings, Bass, Percussion, Keyboards, and Soothing.
The Award-Winning 18-Inch Skill Teaching Doll – Chosen by Nickelodeon Jr. magazine as a Best Toy, this interactive teaching doll provides audible encouragement for children as they practice seven fine developmental motor skills including combing, buttoning and tying shoes making the learning process fun and enjoyable.
The Toddler's Baby Grand Piano – Youngsters can begin musical development with this classic toy piano first invented by Albert Schoenhut in 1872 and winner of the Outstanding Toy Manufacturer Recognition Award. The piano’s 18 keys span one and one-half octaves, and are the same width as those used on a full-sized piano. This helps promote finger stretching by young players and facilitates the transition to a large piano.
