A water-fuelled car is an automobile that hypothetically derives its energy directly from water.Water-fuelled cars have been the subject of numerous international patents, newspaper and popular science magazine articles, local television news coverage, and websites.
Upon entering water, it floats on the surface until the operator floods the interior to submerge it. It can be submerged to a depth of 10 metres (33 ft), powered by twin electric-powered propellers supplemented by two Seabob water jets. [5] It travels through the water like a submarine, rather than driving along the river- or sea-bed. The car's ...
Between 1999 and 2010, WaterCar developed three amphibious prototypes. One of these prototypes was the Python. Powered by a 450 hp (340 kW) Chevrolet Corvette engine, it reached land speeds of 127 mph (204 km/h), and water speeds of 60 mph (52 kn), setting a Guinness World Record in 2010.
The WaterCar Panther is a commercial amphibious car manufactured by California-based WaterCar. [1] [2] The Panther entered production in 2013. [3] It was introduced in 2013 after 14 years of development by founder Dave March. [4] It is currently being produced in Fountain Valley, California.
It is capable of speeds over 160 kilometres per hour (99 mph) on land and 50 kilometres per hour (31 miles per hour; 27 knots) on water. Rather than adding wheels to a boat design, or creating a car that floats, the Aquada was designed from the ground up to perform very well in both fields, with over 60 patents covering technical innovations.
Purely recreational amphibian cars include the 1960s Amphicar and the contemporary Gibbs Aquada. With almost 4,000 pieces built, the Amphicar is still the most successfully produced civilian amphibious car to date. The Gibbs Aquada stands out due to its capability of high speed planing on water.
Stanley Meyer, who claimed to run a car on water in 1984. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Charles Frazer, an inventor from Ohio who, in 1918 patented a hydrogen booster which claimed to use electrolysis to increase vehicle power and fuel efficiency while greatly reducing exhaust emissions.
