Have you ever thought that one day we will drive a car powered by water? Yes, this dream is now moving towards becoming true. Indian company Joy e-bike has recently introduced the prototype of a scooter that runs on water.
How does this scooter work
Hydrogen fuel cell and electrolyzer technology have been used in this scooter. This technology breaks the water molecules and extracts hydrogen gas. This hydrogen gas is used to run the scooter.
Features of water-powered scooter
Hydrogen Technology: Hydrogen fuel cell technology has been used in this scooter.
Water use: The scooter extracts hydrogen by breaking the water molecules and then uses this hydrogen as fuel.
Eco-friendly: This technology is pollution-free and beneficial for the environment.
Low speed: The maximum speed of the scooter is 25 kilometers per hour, due to which a driving license will not be required.
Pedal assistance: If the hydrogen runs out, the scooter can be driven with the help of pedals.
What is the reality
However, as of now it is just a prototype and is not available in the market. The company is continuously working on this technology. Once this technology is fully developed, it can be brought to the commercial level.
Prospects
The future of hydrogen fuel cell technology is very bright. This technology can be used not only in two-wheelers but also in cars, trucks, and even buses. This technology will not only reduce pollution but will also help in dealing with the energy crisis.
What is the challenge
Although this technology is very promising, there are still many challenges. Challenges like the cost of hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, and setting up of hydrogen filling stations have to be solved.
Water-powered scooters are an attractive idea, but so far it is like a dream. If this technology becomes successful, it can bring a new revolution in the field of transportation. We have to wait and see how quickly and how effectively this technology develops.
