The
Pakistani engineer who last week debuted a new technology purportedly enabling
cars to run on water has accepted an invitation to visit Abu Dhabi, the
Pakistani ambassador’s office told Khaleej Times.
The
visit will take place in recognition of Waqar Ahmad’s invention of the “water
fuel kit”, which he demonstrated to a gathering of Pakistani parliamentarians,
scientists and students in Islamabad on July 26.
Pakistani
Ambassador to the UAE Jamil Khan and International Renewable Energy Agency
(IRENA) Director-General Adnan Z. Amin have agreed to stage another
demonstration permitting world bodies to closely scrutinise the new technology,
said the ambassador’s office. The event’s location and date will be determined
once Pakistan’s Ministry of Science and Technology officially certifies the
water fuel kit’s authenticity.
“The
invention by the Pakistani engineer holds enormous potential considering that,
if it is also certified by the IRENA after the upcoming demo, it can
dramatically change the global dependence on fossil fuels, which also pollute
the environment,” said Ambassador Khan. The ambassador expressed hope that the
IRENA’s certification of the water fuel kit will help market the eco-friendly technology
to a global consumer base.
Ahmad’s
invention has been described as a “water fuelling system” and claims to power
vehicles with hydrogen gas produced from “hydrogen bonding” with distilled
water. According to reports in Pakistani newspaper Dawn, running a car on the
water fuel kit technology will be cheaper than the use of petrol or compressed
natural gas (CNG).
Dawn
also reported that Pakistan’s Minister of Religious Affairs Syed Khurshid Ahmad
Shah attended the demonstration in Islamabad and himself drove the water fuel
kit-equipped car. The minister assured Ahmad of the government’s support in
protecting and developing the project.
