Just think… what would it be like if your vehicle started running just by pouring water instead of petrol or diesel?
No long queues at petrol pumps, no smoke in the sky and no heavy expenses on the pocket. It sounds like a dream, but the world’s technology is getting closer to making it a reality today.
How can a vehicle run on water?
Now the question is, “Will the vehicle run by pouring water directly into the engine?”
No, it is not so.blog
In simple terms: water is filled into the vehicle → hydrogen is extracted → hydrogen generates electricity → and the electricity drives the motor.
Why is a vehicle running on water necessary?
Pollution will reduce – The smoke coming out of petrol-diesel vehicles is making the air poisonous. Only steam will come out of a vehicle running on water.
Cost Savings – With petrol and diesel prices constantly rising, everyone is concerned about fuel expenses. In comparison, water is an affordable and widely available resource.
New jobs – With the advent of new technology, millions of people will get employment.
Energy independence of the country – Countries like India have to import oil from abroad. Vehicles running on water will reduce this burden.
But there are challenges too
Technology is expensive right now – The cost of hydrogen fuel cell is very high.
Security threat – Hydrogen gas burns quickly, so it is not easy to store it.
Lack of infrastructure – Just like there are petrol pumps everywhere, hydrogen stations are very few right now.
Where is the work being done in the world?
Japan – Toyota has launched the hydrogen car “Mirai”.
In South Korea, Hyundai is actively testing its hydrogen-powered cars.
America and Europe – Many startups and big companies are engaged in research.
In India, IITs and several startups are actively conducting experiments to make this technology practical.
Future in India
This technology has the potential to become a game-changer for India.
There is water shortage in some areas here, but instead of using large amounts of water, treatment plants can be built to extract only hydrogen.
If the government and companies come together, we can see water-powered vehicles on the roads in the next 10–20 years.
Conclusion
“Water running on water” may sound like a film story today, but tomorrow it can be our reality.
Imagine, when children will ask their father –
“Why did people burn petrol, when water was available?”
Then perhaps we will answer with a smile – “That was the olden times son, now vehicles run on water.”
