nope…this runs on a simple process called electrolysis….water is made up of hydrogen n oxygen…hydrogen burns itself…oxygen helps in burning…combustion occurs n thats it…ur on ur way!!!!

dude…this cant be said as copied…i had got this idea long back….wen i told this to my father…he said very good…do go ahead wen u grow up n make this….next day i read this article that they had already made it…theres hell lotta possibility that same ppl do same thing at the same time!!!!!!!!!

Bosch selling this for Rs. 4000 and “inexpensive and simple retro-fit kit” ???

I am sure this is a non-starter, otherwise every Auto driver should be talking about it already.

Grow up , guys!!!
OLD TECHNOLOGY SHAMELESSLY COPIED AND CLAIMED AS OWN INVENTION !!

Google “yahoo hydroxy watercar HHO youtube”, you’ll see thousands using the same water splitters developing hydrogen which is mixed with petrol to get the extra boost. There are also many more DIY (DoItYourself)groups all over the internet!!! Youtube has plenty of these cars and other vehicles along with how to do tutorial videos.
Also this HHO/ Hydroxy technology is commercially available as a kit from 4k to 10k in Bangalore , Coimbatore etc., where people are fitting them from Autos to Skodas. Every Tom Dick & Harry is making these Kits in India and abroad for years.

These are just ‘gimmick’ news making stuff by the so called ‘top’ colleges like RVCE, PESIT, MSRIT , every year. All they do is buy a ready KIT , assemble it and claim that THEY invented it!!!! …without crediting the original inventors :-X
…and to see that they have successfully “fooled” big scientific giants like IISc, Bosch…….

Where are the scientists and their brains there???!!!!! dont they know a copied technology when it is ALL OVER the Internet???

Shame!!!

This seems to be running by using a fuel cell battery being supplied by Bosch. Fuel Cell is well known to the scientific world, it uses water , methanol or ethanol as fuel. It is many times more efficient than Internal Combustion Engine. But the limiting factor is its cost, Believe me it is very very expansive, because it uses catalyst that is made of platinum. It also uses nanotechnology as technology for producing the catalysts and thus the production cost is very high. Scientists all over the world are trying to bring down the cost of fuel cell. When there will be a cost effective fuel cell then all the energy problem will be solved. Till then let us burn the good old petrol.

Well! That’s atleast better than the even faster depleting oil and gas levels. No?!?

If it could run on salt water, then I would say its a useful, because that is abundant at the coastal towns at least.

But otherwise, commercializing this could be detrimental to the already fast disappearing water levels around the country. I can picture Rikshaw drivers crowding around water pumps and arguing with local farmers/families on who gets the last drop for the month.

On the flip-side this could be the push that will finally make water more expensive and therefore force people to stop wasting it and instead consere every drop of it.

U too Ashish?

Rs 4,000/- for 20% efficiency … Ambani’s would bet a Trillion on that .

Another half-backed information and another idiotic article by rediff.

Take one: Sounds too exciting to be real.
Take two: water is not as abundant as it seems. Especially near human habitat.
Take three: Is it the same college that brought a solar powered car (err cycle sometime back?)
