Very soon the Cars will be running on water, this is the latest dream seen by Ratan Tata . The Tata group chairman has already invested a whooping amount of fifteen million US dollar in a start-up firm, which is going to do a research on it.
Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, Prof C N R Rao, had informed the news agencies that a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology had managed to discover a way to split water into molecules of hydrogen and oxygen. So the cars will be called as Hydrogen Cars.
These cars will be hydrogen-powered or alternative-fuel vehicles that will use hydrogen (H2) as fuel for motion. Hydrogen is burnt using a devices which use a little electricity from the car's battery separates water into a gas called HHo (2 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen). This gas is also called Brown's Gas or Hydroxy. This gas burns very well producing a lot of energy, converting water‘s chemical energy into mechanical energy. Hydrogen is either burnt in an internal combustion engine, or, hydrogen and oxygen are brought to react with each other in a fuel cell, thus running the electric motor.
Any kind of water can be used for this purpose, whether it could be a rain, toilet or sea water; it can be broken into Hydrogen and oxygen. This invention is not new to the market, scientist earlier have already run cars on alternative fuels such as gas, waste material and water. Some scientist have even said that using water will double the mileage, and it takes only 4 gallons of distilled water per year and a small bottle of catalyst. This technology will be cost effective and will be an immediate solution to the pollution and energy crisis.
