Proposal

We propose to design a hydro electric car that run on gas and water. The car will be fuel efficient, as it does not solely run on gasoline. The car is designed to help the environment, as it makes us less depends on fossil fuels and is a start to eliminating the need for them. The car is aimed to penetrate the mass market, and therefore will be priced at a relatively cheap price. We hope that this car is the start to making a difference in the world, and will lead to cleaner air.

Ingredients:

- Car Battery
- Water
- Boiler
- Motor to start the Battery and Engine. (the motor acts as a generator during breaking, using the momentum of the car to generate electricity)
- electronically-controlled valve
- piston cylinder engine
- exhaust (to release the steam)

Manual/Directions:

This hydro-electric car is designed so that any driver can use it. Rather than starting the car with a key like the conventional car, by simply inserting the car and pressing the “Start” button, the car will start. Driving the car is more or less the same as any other automatic car. To refuel the car, the driver has the option of either refilling with unleaded fuel or water. At a gas station, one can fill up at the normal pump, and if gas stations begin to provide a water resource for cars, it can be filled in to the same hole. If that is not available, the driver can use his/her hose at home to fill up the tank, or fill it in with multiple bottles of water.

Price:

The price proposed for the car is about $26,000. This way it is affordable to the common consumer, therefore making the environment cleaner and making us less dependant on fossil fuels.

Disposal:

To make it easier for the consumer and better for the environment, we propose to take back our cars when and if they must be disposed of. For incentive, we offer to give the consumer a $100 reward for returning their car to us in order for us to reuse and recycle the parts of the car.
