At the Competitiveness Council to be held in Brussels on 4 and 5 December 2006, the 25 Ministers for Industry, the Internal Market and Research will debate, among other subjects, theValencia Declaration, which sets out innovation policy priorities. The video report entitled "The EU revives innovation by businesses" demonstrates the importance of stepping up investment in innovation in Europe. The film illustrates: New technologies in the world of toys: a toy car with a hydrogen fuel cell that runs an electric motor, in response to directives on limiting the use of metals and dangerous substances. AIJU, the Toy Technology Centre in Ibi (Valencia region), which tests the quality and educational potential of toys on the market. Shots of the Valencia conference.
November 26, 2006, the Spanish city of Valencia was a venue for a grand premiere, the Europe
00:00:00
Innova Conference. Organized by the European Commission with the help of the regional government
00:00:09
of Valencia, it brought together political decision makers and key players from the world
00:00:14
of business, research and academia to discuss innovation. Commercialization of new ideas,
00:00:18
helping young companies grow, promoting the spirit of innovation in Europe. These were
00:00:28
the main themes of the conference. Among the numerous industrial projects presented by
00:00:32
participants was one developed by the IJU, the Technical Toy Institute at Ibi, 30 kilometers
00:00:39
from Alicante. Its purpose is to promote the development of the toy industry. This play
00:00:44
center, a paradise for children, is actually a laboratory where the quality and educational
00:00:52
aspects of existing toys can be evaluated. This industry is active everywhere in the
00:00:56
world and the European Union must face up to very strong competition. There always has
00:01:01
to be something new, and innovation is what these men in white coats are all about as
00:01:06
they gravely bend over a young driver's car. As scientists and engineers at the institute,
00:01:10
they've developed groundbreaking technology in the toy world, an electric motor powered
00:01:16
by a hydrogen battery. Here our job is to help companies be innovating and competitive
00:01:21
in the toy sector, which has already taken advantage of new technologies. This new hydrogen
00:01:28
battery technology offers lots of opportunities in our sector to replace traditional batteries.
00:01:41
It's better for the environment, and the product has better characteristics than existing ones.
00:01:48
In future, our product will be more competitive.
00:01:57
Hydrogen is a well-known source of energy. A chemical component of water, it already
00:02:11
powers engines developed by the automobile industry. But adapting the technology to a
00:02:16
child's toy car is something quite new. This bottle, the hydrogen tank, is placed at the
00:02:21
rear of the car. Hydrogen is injected under pressure into the battery itself, placed in
00:02:26
the center of the prototype. It will produce the electricity necessary to drive it. Here,
00:02:31
the application is very much at the service of the environment.
00:02:37
In this type of application for electric toys, we traditionally use lead and acid batteries,
00:02:45
which cause problems. The lead in them is heavy and detrimental to both health and the
00:02:50
environment. These are problems which we don't get with this. A normal battery takes 12 hours
00:03:01
to recharge. A bottle like this, just a couple of hours.
