An Filipino engineer named Daniel Dingle, who used to work for NASA, has developed a car that uses plain tap water and/or sea water for fuel. The technology utilizes a mini-reactor in the car that splits the water molecule into hydrogen & oxygen, with hydrogen being burned off as fuel. The emission released out of the exhaust is clean pure water vapor or water – absolutely no pollution! In fact, it cleans the air. He now has 6 cars running on water, the first of which was driven in 1969, over 30 years ago. He also has various other water-powered inventions – all are patent-pending.

This is great news especially to motorists of today who are burdened with the increasing cost of fuel. But the question is, if this water-powered car technology was available thirty years ago, why hasn’t it been manufactured and marketed?

Mr. Dingle says he has been turned down by every agency he sent his invention to, especially the local ones. The local government technology arm has even branded his water-powered car invention as a hoax many years ago. However, if you ask me, science has nothing to do with this constant rejection. It is politics and money, the same story for many other inventions in the past that have threatened to sever our dependence on oil.

Word has it that Mr. Daniel Dingle has finally found an international partner to develop his water-powered car. Let’s just hope they do it soon and they do it fast because the world’s back is breaking from the soaring price of oil.
