Most of you may have heard about the Air Car that has been in much news over last year, thanks to the Tata backing the project. If you read the comments on my earlier post on air car, you would find many people have reservations about the success of the project.

However, unlike years of research and experimentation (and Offcourse millions of funds) spent on air car, a group of young Indian college students have done a stupendous feet.

They have created a vehicle that runs on water ! yes…water !

Now the car literally does not run on water, but hydrogen from the water forms the major component for running the car. This Hybrid vehicle runs nearly 500 kilometers on a single litre of fuel (petrol) with water as an important component.

That’s the prototype of `Project Garuda RVCE Super mileage’ by students of R V College of Engineering in their bid to build most energy-efficient, eco-friendly vehicle.

The corporates have jumped over this idea and many of them have expressed keen interest with with GE stepping in to financially support initial research costs and provide them with light and state-of-the-art polymers for the car’s aerodynamic shell.
